POEM STARTER

Submitted by TheQuillPen

Write a poem about giving up.

It doesn’t have to be negative, it can be about giving up something or someone that’s been holding you back.

Giving Up

You say its bad for me to do it

That’s why my friends don’t like you

My friends say its good

That’s why you don’t like then


I’m doing

One

Simple

Thing:

Giving up


Giving up fitting your mold

Giving up showing you the real me

Giving up telling you stuff

Giving up letting you know who I am

Giving up following your dress code

Giving up following your language

Giving up needing your approval

Giving up wanting you to know

Giving up wanting you to listen

Giving up wanting you to see

Giving up wanting you to pay attention


I’m doing now

What I should’ve done

A long time ago


You don’t like me?

You don’t like my style?

You don’t like the words I use?

You don’t like what I do?

You don’t like what I imagine?

You don’t like what I write?

You don’t like what I sing?

You don’t like what I draw?

You don’t like who I hang out with?

Oh okay

That’s cool

Because

**I**

**Don’t **

**Care**



I’m giving that up

I’m giving up caring


I finally found a place

Where I belong

With my friends

The people you hate


You don’t listen to me

You don’t look at me

You don’t pay attention to me

You don’t care about me

But they do

So yeah, I like them a little bit more than you


I’m giving up

Trying to be who you want me to be


I’m going to make mistakes

I’m going to get it wrong

I’m going to act stupid

I’m going to act retarted

I’m going to act like myself


Not around you

Oh no no no

But around the people who actually like me?

You can count on it
