POEM STARTER

Write a poem that shows how a single moment in a person’s childhood still affects them to this day.

It does not have to be a something negative...

“Should have been you”

TW!!!! Mentions of bullying and death








It still affects me.

Though it shouldn’t affect me,

The day they said it should have been me.


The day they said I was unworthy,

The day they said it should have been me:

Should have been me that died.


Should it still bother me

Almost four years ago it happened

Should be over it,

Right?


I will always feel bad for the girl,

That actually suffered the loss,

Of someone dear to her.


But I will never support her friend,

Who turned to be and said:

“It should have been you instead”


But why would you say that to a kid?

Why would you say that as a kid?

Why would you even think that?


I don’t know what i did to them,

To make them hate me,

Oh so much.


But to this day I still think

Everyone has a problem or something to say

About my very existence
