POEM STARTER
Write a poem where the opening line is about the colour you are wearing.
Think about all the connotations and symbolism your colour may have.
Pain
Red, all I see is red
I am sick of seeing red
Just like I am sick
Of being sick
I am tired of not beinh able to do things
For the effects it may bring
The pain in which i will writh
The fall and the rise
my certain demise
I am done with the demons inside
Leave me I swear
I double dog dare
I want you to leave
To not inhabit me
I am sick of the pain
In my body and my brain
In the way I speak my mind
And the things I’ve left behind
I am tired of the late nights
Where I can not sleep
And the mornings I am exhausted
for previous nights feats
I am done with my body
And all the pain it causes
I am so sick of being sick
Mentally and physically
And I wish it would all get better
I know I have it better than some
And I should not run
but its hard some days
And today I am just done
Right now it hurts to sit
To breathe
To eat
To move
It hurts to live
Is that how it is for you
I don’t mean I can’t mentally do things
Though that is sometimes my struggle
I mean my body is tired
Done with the weight and the trouble
It will be ok
I will be ok
I always am
I always have been
It will get better
It always does
But for now
I write through pain
Because when it comes to help
Thats what does
