POEM STARTER
Confession.
Write a poem, with a set structure, which centres around the theme of confession.
Life? or is it just me
My life… me
It may seem like I’m as people say a doll
Put together in a box
But that’s not the case at all
I sit up at night thinking in my head
All the words that just wish to be said
From school to home and so forth and so on
I just wonder is that just life or is it just me
Adults say you got it easy no bills to pay
You just sit around, playing all day
You’re right I just have to worry about what everyone has to say
Hoping that I look pretty today
Come sit with us, come sit with us
Okk i say so i don’t make a big fuss
You have to act like them, talk like them
Cause then you’ll start to fit in
Then you think you fit in
Hey girl hey
But when you get home check your phone
They have nothing to say
Oh you’re pretty, I like you
Next day, who are you talking to?
Ay, my homeboy wanna crack
Ew no i’d never crack that he was lying on my name.
Then you feel ashamed, dang am i not pretty
Am i just a girl people date out of pity?
I just leave it alone and let it be
But in the back of my mind i always wonder is this life… or is it just me?
