POEM STARTER

Write a poem about a lie that spirals out of control.

Consider the structures and devices you could use to show the repetition and amplification of the lie.

Well how did we get here?

Well how did we here?

Sobbing while you yell at me

Never give me a chance to explain it

I'm too out of breath anyways


Well I just wanted love

I told you I was seeing Eliza

And then I told you it was Rose

Maybe if you let me reasonably free

I wouldn't find it so easy to lie straight through my teeth

Maybe if I wasn't a fan of the thrill and feign freeness

I wouldn't find it so easy to lie straight through my teeth


Then I wanted more

He said "I am only yours"

But I wanted more

So I told him I wasn't seeing Charlotte

Who even is Ivy?

Maybe if I wasn't so desirable

I wouldn't have to lie through my teeth

Maybe if I wasn't a fan of loving people

I wouln't have to lie through my teeth


Oh, I'm so greedy

I just take all I can

And now I'm in my mother's car sobbing

She says she doesn't even know who I am

You only know the one guy

But I'm your little monster

Flowers wilt when I walk by

My throat hurts from screaming back
