POEM STARTER
Compose a poem that reads like a monologue.
A monologue is a speech given by one character only, usually to express their thoughts out loud.
Weak
I’m such a baby
Why can’t I take that?
Why does it hurt so bad?
It’s just playing around
He wasn’t trying to hurt me on purpose
Why am I so weak?
He was just playing
By bending my wrist
Why does it hurt?
And when I tell him to stop
He doesn’t
It’s still playing
Until I’m crying
from the pain
That’s when he stops
And that’s when it makes me feel like shit
For upsetting him
And stopping him from playing around
My mom always chimes in
I don’t hear what she’s saying though
But I know it’s something about me being weak
(This is almost exactly what I monologued after what happened. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. It happens a lot actually)
