POEM STARTER
Write a poem about a birthday.
This doesn't have to be about your own birthday. What themes could you explore through writing about birthdays?
Bittersweet Birthdays
Time is running like a river
But I’m still stuck at The same old train station
Where you left me to whither
While I fought the complications
Year by year you grow older
And every year you watch as the colours drain
Wish things where the same
How we used to dance in the rain
Sweet Suger blisses Strawberry kisses
Is all we used to know
Halloween and witches Blowing birthday wishes
Smiles everywhere you go
When depression’s just a word
Now stress is just a curse
It’s like a battle of snakes and songbirds
Between Our childhood and the worst
Now we’re masking our emotions
Not masking our scars
They taught us to be cautious
But now we are jumping off stars
Cried tears of sweet honey
But now those tears are scars of poison
Those jokes that used to be funny
Now makes you wanna hate life that you chosen
So now every birthday I just sit in silence
Knowing what the world holds
Knowing what defines it
Because we’re no hero’s were dreamers ,fighters but mostly survivers
