POEM STARTER
Submitted by Norris Reynolds
Write a poem about the perfect way to start the day.
The Morning Coverup
Wake up early, 6:30…maybe
I was restless all night anyways.
Go for a run
I may look motivated but what you don’t know is that I’m fantasizing running away from my life.
Come home and do my makeup and skincare.
If I’m gonna be a mess on the inside, I have to look great on the outside
Besides, concealer will help cover up the dark circles under my eyes from the past sleepless nights, and the mascara stains still leftover.
Have a cup of iced matcha tea
God knows I need the caffeine to even function.
Workout, today is arm day, so lifting it is.
Maybe if I work hard enough, I will finally be worthy to get what I want.
Eat breakfast
I almost forgot about it.
It’s ok, I’ll just have something small.
The bare minimum.
Gotta get that summer body.
Go about the rest of my day,
All of this effort was just to pretend I’m ok.
