POEM STARTER
Growing Strong
Write a poem that starts with this line
Growing Up Strong
Growing up strong
Hitching rides
And their melancholy cries
Sing in the night
For all my days
I shall never feel the same
For growing up strong
Is truly, purely…
Not a game
(La, La,
La, La)
It is truly
Not A
Game
(La, La,
La, La)
And to hear their raspy voices
And to see their tear-stained face!
I know it’s not the truth
But why can’t they—
Feel the same?
For growing up strong
Is really—
Really not a game
But why do they stay weak
When they only get beat?
And I can’t watch them!
But I still have own feet—
And so I run
And I run
And I run
Faster than a—
Be-e-e
Be-e-eating
Drum
For growing up weak
Is never ever sweet
And sooner or later
You’ll wind up—
Dead
(Dead)
(Dead)
So pick your feet up!
Let your guard rise!
Grow up strong
And never feed their lies!
I won’t help you
I won’t stare
You have to help yourself
Or you’ll never get up there
And so I run
And I run
And I run
Faster than a—
Be-e-e
Be-e-eating
Drum
I know they’ll be fine…
I hope that they’ll be fine…
I wish that they’ll be fine…
I pray that they’ll be fine….
