POEM STARTER
Write a Pantoum on any topic you like.
A pantoum is a poem where each stanza is 4 lines, and the second and fourth line of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the next. As this creates a lot of repetition, try to pick a theme that would benefit from emphasis of certain lines.
Right to breathe
trapped in this void of nothingness
bound to chains of silence
watching my life pass by
a stranger to my home
bound to chains of silence
veil upon veil suffocating me
I'm a stranger to my home
No longer human just a pile of fabric
veil upon veil suffocating me
Shuffling around like a shadow
No longer human just pile of fabric
and no one cares
no one care I've faded
no one cares i have emotions
no one cares about what i have to say
no one cares that
I. CANT. FUCKING. BREATH
~ it kills me to see how Afghan women are being stripped away of their identity and are being restricted to a point where they basically don't exist and it is truly awful. ~
