POEM STARTER
Your character is experiencing a moment of realisation surrounding their identity and their place in the world. Write a poem about how they feel in this moment.
My Truly Self
So I look in the mirror
And I see
I see my truly self
I see everything I despise
And I release I am the monster I was afraid of when I was a child
The monster everyone fears
I hate the site
The site of my truly self
So I try to look away
To not see
But the voices get louder
And the thoughts can not be ignored much longer
There is something inside of me
Something that is not meant to be there
Something that I hate
Something I can not not be
I’ve always had this fear
The fear that just won’t go away
The fear of me
No one sees
Sees that side of me
The side of me I fear the most
I hope no one will ever find out
My truly self
Because the one thing I fear more than me
Is all the peoples faces
There thoughts
What I fear the most the way the would see me
The true me
My truly self
