POEM STARTER
Submitted by SmileyGuitar
Write a poem that starts in a cheerful, bright mood, but then reveals underlying anger or bitterness.
What I’m Made Of
I used to walk every day
Knowing sunshine will ignite me
And whenever it did
It would fill my heart with glee
I used to look at online insults
Like they were nothing special
But after one big push
My angry side started to rattle
I’d shut every hater down
With a line as sharp as a knife
And when they ran away
I was no longer full of strife
People think it’s me being bitter
Destroying villains that way
But they don’t know what I’m capable of
When my kindness starts to decay
