POEM STARTER
'Handmade'
Write a poem that could have this as its title.
Handmade
I started forming myself
This kind of forming you see in movies
Those where you just glow up
Those where you become a different person from one day to the other
I know this wouldn’t be easy
I always knew this
I knew that it would be the hardest time of my life
I knew this wouldn’t be good for me
But still I proceeded
I tried changing myself to someone who I’m not
Changing myself to a better me while the current me was good enough
Changing myself knowing I wouldn’t succeed
I knew all this
And I still felt like a failure
Because I didn’t get what I wanted
Because I failed becoming me while I was me the whole time
