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.
Goodbye
goodbye to laughing at lunch
goodbye to patting eachother on the back
goodbye to smiles
goodbye to friendship
goodbye to knowing eachother
goodbye to time we have left
goodbye 22
goodbye algebra
goodbye to you
i’ve given up
trying to make
time go slower,
given up trying
to slow the inevitable
you leave, another
school and grade,
you always were
so old,
goodbye name calling
goodbye checking in on eachother
i’ve given up
hiding my sadness,
you seem to see it
too, even
when we refuse
to acknowledge
the ticking clock
goodbye heart to hearts
goodbye stories
goodbye sarcasm
i’ve given up
trying to hold
myself back,
i have to spend
every last second
make it worth it
goodbye to fun facts
goodbye late night talks
goodbye to the group at full
goodbye to arguing over food
i’ve given up,
hiding what you
mean to me:
you are
the older sibling
i never had,
the brother who
actually
cares
goodbye debates
goodbye dreaming
goodbye looking to the future
goodbye to funny looks
goodbye, you
