POEM STARTER
Compose a poem centred around the theme of 'the one that got away'.
The One Who Got Away.
They use to say she wasn’t going to be anything in life.
They use to ay she was the lazy one.
The useless one.
All her lies she heard that she wasn’t going to be anything in life.
Till she started to believe it.
She started to think she wasn’t worth anything.
She was so much in her head.
It was constant battles.
With a broken heart.
She learnt not to listen to what they had to say
She wasn’t worthless.
She learnt that along the way.
She started to believe in her head.
But not in a negative way this time.
She still had people in her ear telling her.
Stupid.
Worthless.
Your going to be a nobody.
But this time it didn’t affect her.
She told herself she can.
So she did.
She got her shit together.
Went to school.
Got her fucking degree.
Proved everyone wrong.
She’s the one who got away.
