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.
