POEM STARTER

Write a poem from the point of view of an unwilling debutante being presented at court.

How would this young character feel about being introduced to their society?

My Riches Are Bloodstained

These people don’t know who I am and if they did they would run, On the outside I’m a young lady from a wealthy family, what other lies are there to be spun. All secrets are out, after all this time I have finally been caught, I don’t know if I should feel angry or relieved, I haven’t been properly taught. When it’s my time to speak I don’t want to be proven innocent, I want them to shout guilty as charged and for me to be locked away, Then I won’t have to deal with seeing this ugly side of society every single day. I see people on my side saying lies to the judge in order to let me go, Every time they open their mouths I want to jump up and scream “No!” Because all of these lies, every single one of them is simply not true, I don’t want to be underestimated for the things that I did and will do. I look around the room feeling empathetic for the lower class, They are nothing but worthless and it would be too easy to have them in the grass. I’m a criminal that no one suspects and that doesn’t make it great, It makes me sad to think that no one is caring or wondering why Felix is late.
