POEM STARTER
Write a poem about a messy room.
Whether literal or symbolic, think about what the messy room can tell us.
Messy room
I donāt like it this way
My mind is in the wrong place
I canāt think straight
I donāt know if I want to
I canāt keep it clean anymore
My thoughts
My words
My room
I Donāt wanna wake up
I just want to sleep
until I canāt sleep anymore
and then Iāll sleep again
There is dishes on my desk
cups and forks and plates
Clothes on the floor
Did i wear that yesterday?
I feel trapped
my room is so small
yet it holds so much
pure emotion
Posters falling off the walls
Painting chipping from the frame
The door is creaky
and the windows do not look the same
Have not brushed my hair
Have not changed my clothes
slept past noon
Havnt left the house in a while
I know it seems dramatic
But I am stuck here alone
I donāt have depression
So donāt take this the wrong way
I am lonely as can be
Because no one wants to be friends with me
I dont read anymore
all i do is scroll
Help me get rid of this messy room
Please help me pick up my shattered pieces
I beg you to listen
And maybe stay for awhile
