POEM STARTER

Write a poem casually and nonchalantly reflecting on a hugely important event.

What kind of language could portray this tone even when the content is important?

Weight

The insurmountable weight of judgement

Held me back from release

Sometimes it felt like I was born to be dragged

Without the courage to beg, “Please”


I was raised in a foreign land

Drowning in the expectations and rules

I’d lost touch with my own people

Subconsciously dismissing them as fools


Guilt-ridden as an adult, I cringed at my past

Wondering where I had lost the strength of my core

Had it ever really existed? I wondered if I missed it

Detaching from learned pessimism because it was such a fucking bore
