POEM STARTER
Write a poem using multiple rhetorical questions, where the narrator is questioning their own judgement or viewpoint.
You could use the questions to make the reader think, or to show how doubtful the narrator is of their own stance.
Empath’s Dilemma
Am I feeling what you’re feeling
Do I have a view inside
Is it empathy or arrogance
To think I know your mind
I’m upset when you’re upset
That I’m upset tha— stop.
Is it insight or insanity
To guess what’s in your thoughts
Sometimes when I’m in tune
with all your nuances and moods
With things I couldn’t, shouldn’t know
But feel as though I do
I wonder if I’m penning my own
Stories onto you
Tales I’ve written with my eyes closed,
Woke, and read like something new
