POEM STARTER
Submitted by Mel Davies
Write a fictional story or poem that revolves around the question: are we truly unique, or are we mosaics of every person we’ve ever known?
Mosaic
I am a piece of everything
I am a part of everyone
I am unique but the same
Because we all think different ways
I got my face from my mom
But my eyes from my dad
My hair a mix of both
But you can tell whose child i am
I got my style from my mind
From pinterest and Tv
Thrift clothes I find cool
That likely came from cool people too
I text using slag I picked up from a friend
And act in similar ways to my favorite characters
I got a bag i loved because i saw people with my style using it
And i do things because it feels right
I rip off bandaids
Even if it takes awhile
my best friend taught me that
I do my makeup a mash of a thousand ways
And i wear the jewlery I am gifted
my best friend dyed my hair red
and I am ready to admit I may not like men
dosent that make me chaoticly me
I am unique and me
I am special and beautiful
But that means I am a mosaic of everything
That I have ever loved
That I have ever hated
and that i have ever known
