POEM STARTER

Write a poem that has an uncanny mood.

Uncanny is defined as strange or mysterious, especially in an unsettling way.

The Exact Same

When I’m here in this asylum

In my room, all alone

Lying against the wall

Looking up at the ceiling


Every day, I sit down

Sit down and think

Just think about my life

And where it’s been


It’s been…..It’s been

I don’t know

I mean, I feel good

Even after I knew I stabbed those guys


Saw their blood coming down

From their necks to their shirts

To their pants, all the way to their shoes

Like a stream flowing in a river


I knew I snapped their necks

Heard their necks pop

Crack, break, and go boom!

As I also shot their necks


The blood splattering on my face

Going down to my body as they got down

Smiling ever so greatly

Filling my soul with a sinful pleasure


I felt good

So life should be good

It should be except

EXCEPT IT’S NOT!


After I did that to those guys

Those guys in that alleyway

I got locked up in jail

Had an awful inmate next to me in my cell


But I knew how to deal with him

I shoved a knife down his throat

Thinking it could make him just shut up

He was caught dead


Well, hey, he stopped talkin’

I was right

So I don’t understand why I’m here

In this asylum


All alone by myself

Having no one

No one at all to talk to

To hang out with


To have fun with

To do mischievous things with

To get in trouble with

To cry with


To love with

To be with

Just like home

Just like school


Just like everywhere

Everywhere I’ve ever been

Including now

Sure, I feel good


About a few things

But that doesn’t make up for what’s in me

Nothing

I just feel nothing all the time, feeling the same


Makes me feel like burning someone on fire

Seeing their flesh slowly melt off

Screaming and crying

Gosh, it could make my day


If only I knew how to cause a fire

I inhaled from my cigarette, in between my first two fingers

I exhaled, smoke coming out

If only I knew


And if only I knew

I knew for certain

That would make me feel more than anything

Which it probably wouldn’t
