POEM STARTER

Submitted by Maranda Quinn

Write a poem which includes the motif of doors.

Whether open or closed, doors can be used to represent many different things.

Doors

Paving the way to success

they told me

Opening doors

they said


A tidal wave of luck

a presnt for them not me

Tricked and manipulated

dirty work for thee


They granted opportunities

and gave me many options

but nothing was worth it

Under that indoctrination


Feeding me lies

hooked up to dishonesty

doors open in front of me

Close them

please close them


I dont want your attention

I dong want your money

I want freedom

and peace

from this hyporcricy


Save me from this torture

from the constant pressure

save me from the people

save me from the drama


I dont want opened doors

close them

close them

please


Dont give me your generic opportunities

I need to learn

and I need to thrive

Do you hear me

Will you listen please


I am stuck in a place

that is dirty

and broken

Fed lies

and corruption

I am their token


Surronded

by zombies

imprisoned here too

Save us

save us

please just save us


I am sick of the opportunities

and opened doors

that are never what they seem

What is this place

what do you mean


Stuck in a cycle

of work

and fabrication

An american School system

An american school girl

Sick of the lies


Sick of the falshood

sick of the work

and the bigotry

save me

save me

please

save us all


Save our country

Save our people

This is America

“The land of the free”
