POEM STARTER
Submitted by Benjamin Linus
Create a poem around the theme of sonder.
Sonder is the realisation that everyone is living their own complex lives even if you aren’t aware of them.
The Paths We’ve Made
When joy scrapes onto my face
And epiphanies are all I taste
Why can’t I preach it for everyone’s sake?
When my heart drowns in fright
And I’m blinded by the night
Why is it dimmer when she shines her light?
When I give my loving affection
And she won’t run my direction
Why does she limp with a lasting affliction?
When our story’s started the same
And she claims to be insane
Why can’t I ease her inner pain?
