POEM STARTER

Craft an ode to the trials of growing up.

An Ode is a lyrical poem celebrating or glorifying an aspect of life.

Growing Up

Shorter skirts

More makeup

Play dates turn to hangouts

Hangouts turn to dates

Individualism was so last year

Step in line to look like the rest

Time to put your camouflage to the test

If you step an inch out of line

Comments thrown around all the time

Better be witty and fight off the gaze

Turn down the style

Wear what’s all the rage

Even if you look like the girls your mum told to stay away from on the bus

If I saw them now they’d call me one of us

Lies spill out of my mouth I can’t tell what I want or if I saw it south of a post from a comment "you’d look better in blue that red on you! I haven’t a clue what was going through your head" keep up with the trends

You walk home alone cause you friends went without you

You chose those friends cause you thought they’d surround you
