POEM STARTER
Write a poem in a different genre to your usual comfort zone.
This poem can be in any style and with any theme, but try to write in a genre that you wouldn't normally try.
You Arent Me
You say you’ve been here before
That you’ve done this too
No you haven’t
I’m not you
You dont know the kids my age
You dont know what I pay
Bullied and judged for what I say
Even worse that I’m gay
School is harder then it ever was
Aren’t you happy I’m not doing drugs?
I need special items for a day at school
These things don’t make me ‘cool’
APD, Autism, ADHD, OCD, Anxiety
The days are hard enough without you denying me
You compare yourself to me
Every single day you see
Toughen up, suck it up
How the fuck is life fair, buttercup?
You act like we’re the same
Did you get caught up in the game?
I am me, you are you
How has thst not gotten through??
You say you’ve done what I’m doing
Every sport, step, and muscle pull I’m going?
I’ll stay in wait till time is done
Because I cannot get up and run
I wait in the room
Like it’s a tomb
Waiting for you to see
I’m not you, and you aren’t me
