POEM STARTER
Write a poem about a window that is stuck open and can't be closed.
What does this window represent in the poem?
My Issue
My mind is always open
That's what I like to say
But it's not what it sounds like
I don't mean it that way
I 'm doing fine in school
Which is enough to shut them up
However what's inside my head
Is an endless dreamers hub
It's like I'm constantly living
Hiding my point of view
I won't be a liar
Until someone finds out the truth
I bitch
And I borrow
I beg
And I steal
Yet somehow through it all
I convince myself it's not real
When I close my eyes at night
I don't see the black void
I hear music
See starlight
My one moment of joy
Soon enough
I watch as it fades far away
And I'm bombarded
With the hundreds of lies from today
Attention
Attention
Is that what I need
I keep writing words I know no one will read
In a world full of good
I relish in sin
It's not harming anyone I say
As long as I win
It's lies, they say
You're a liar get a grip
They think I make it up
For the sake of it
The truth, I say is that sometimes it's hard
My head gets mixed up and listens to my heart
When something plays out
I repeat it you see
Though later I'm told it was all just a dream
