POEM STARTER

'It is easy to get lost in the underworld.'

Write a poem that incorporates this line.

Romance vs Independence

It’s easy to get lost

Lost in the underworld

Because when you reach the abode of Hades

There is nothing but fear

Every single path

Is rocky and dark

And you never know where to turn

Where you should take a step back

The underworld of my thoughts

Is really quite similar

Hades would have a gall of a time

Appreciating the dark thoughts that fester

The maze of my thoughts

Is a narrow twisting path

I’m always confused

Never know which thoughts will last

I yearn of a love, that will free me

Unbind me from this chains,

And finally let my heart guide me

But then I pause

And then I wonder

Am I looking to love as an answer?

A kind of superglue

To fix my broken parts

Because I can seem to put them back together

With my own heart?

Is love the answer?

Romance says it is,

But Independence warns me from it.

She keeps on telling me,

I got to solve this

By myself

And not by love,

Because if I can’t love myself

What does my love become?
