POEM STARTER
'Backwards'
Use this single word to inspire a poem.
You’re Shameless
There’s something about being called a problem
That makes me want to be maniacal
A menace you could say…
It’s just so funny because even though everything in me is pushing me in that direction…
I was not wired that way.
Too nice for my own good.
Always taken for granted.
What have you ever done for me?
Except leave.
And show me you’re shameless.
I have a lot to give,
And I know you know that.
Because you’ve taken it.
You’ve slapped me in the face with it.
And this rage I feel,
Makes me want to start a commotion.
And even though it isn’t in me,
I may start moving in slow motion….
Doing little things out of spite…
Because it’s happened far too many times,
And you are no longer permitted to dim MY light.
