POEM STARTER
‘With a smile, you promise to say nothing more.’
Write a poem or short story that concludes with this line. What kind of themes could lead to this final phrase?
lying Silence
You tear me down with all your words
creeping closer with every breath
shaming me for all your wrongs
a shove won’t hurt
a point in the face won’t budge
but that smack wasn’t like another
Even worse when it’s from your own brother
when the time came
no fear I could show
when they said the word go
The lies I had to use
that benefit only you
A whisper you told, every time I obey
with a smile, I promised to say nothing more
