POEM STARTER

Write a poem about pet peeves.

Little things that annoy you – perhaps they are stand-ins for bigger problems, perhaps they are nothing more.

Hate Turned Inward

I hate the way you walk like you own everything


The way you act like you’re the only thing that matters


The way you look around like you think you’re cool


The way you push people around because you can


The way you act like you’re an idiot even though I know you’re smart


The way you’re mean to your friends because you don’t know how to show you care


The way you make fun of others to make yourself feel better


I hate the way you remind me of myself


Of all the things I hate about the person in the mirror


All the pride and arrogance that I’ve worked so hard to get rid of


I hate the way you don’t care that that’s how you are


That you don’t feel the need to always be better


I hate they way that I think I’m so much better than you


But at least you know who you are


Even if you didn’t show it.
