POEM STARTER
Write a poem about mixed emotions.
It can focus on any two emotions that may coincide with one another. What poetic forms might suit this theme?
Love
(Idk. Hope you have a great day.)
I hate love.
It disgusts me.
I am
Perfectly fine on
My own.
I don’t need a
Lover.
I don’t need
Help.
I don’t need
Love.
It’s unnecessary.
I can’t trust love.
Love is a trick
Because why would love
Me?
I promised myself not
To fall for tricks.
I have fallen before,
Never again.
They will just leave
Or worse, manipulate.
I am
Not letting myself
Be used again.
I’m done with love.
But fuck,
How I crave being
Held in someone’s arms.
I want affection and attention,
Both things
I’ve never really felt.
I want my
Picture perfect love story.
All I’ve gotten is tricked,
Is it naive to still want
Love?
I just want to be
Loved.
I don’t deserve love.
I don’t deserve
Anything.
I deserve the
Rips and rats
Of the streets.
I haven’t earned love.
I don’t deserve it.
I don’t deserve
A lover nor love.
I need to earn my love.
Don’t love me!
Please.
I will basically
Fall for
Anyone who does the
Bare minimum.
Say you love me once?
Compliment me once?
I’m blushing and making
Little fantasies of our
Nonexistent future together.
You could be killing me
And I’d still love you.
Once I’m attached,
I’m stuck.
What is love?
(Baby don’t hurt me)
I honestly don’t know,
My views have
Changed so much
That I’m just confused.
Is love something you
Earn like respect?
Do people just love you?
Is love free
Or
Does it cost?
I’ve never dated,
No surprise there.
Love is confusing
And I’ve been stupid.
