POEM STARTER

Who are we when no one is watching?

Write a poem that answers this question.

The You You Fear

The You who isn't someone

You're proud to be


The You who

Scrunches their toes

And hunches their back


The You who

Picks their nose

And lets lingering silences linger


The You who lives spontaneously

In the moment,

Who shuns the rehearsed jokes

And practiced smiles

Of the typical social convention


The You who startles

Who retreats into another,

Polished You

When someone _else_ comes near.
