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.

Why Do I Feel

So I belong here?

Of course I do!


Why do I feel so sad?

I am happy in life!


I feel like I can’t express my true emotions


Why do I feel like I want to leave?

If I do then what would happen?


Why is life hard

Why is everything so complicated

Why can’t it be easy

Why

Why do I feel this way


Is anything I do good?

Am I perfect enough to fit in?

Can I be happy?

Do I have to do so much it hurts?

Do I have to push my pain aside to finish the task?


I have friends

But they don’t know some of the pain

They don’t know that I feel they don’t like me

When they are talking and I feel alone

I just have weird odd or bad thoughts

They look at me

Ask if I am ok

I say yes and am just deep in thought

And they go about there day


If only

I could be perfect

Enough for people to like me

To stand out

To be what they want to be

But I want to be me

Be who people don’t want me to be

I could be sane

I don’t feel like leaving

I could be who I am ment to be

I am not afraid

I don’t feel so alone

I don’t pretend


I know people who love me

But then why do I feel sad

And alone

I don’t know

My mind is confusing

But I know

That if there are people who can help

I just have to accept that help
