POEM STARTER
Submitted by Mel Davies
Write a fictional story or poem that revolves around the question: are we truly unique, or are we mosaics of every person we’ve ever known?
Unique
My accent changes for everyone I meet,
Like a chameleon of personalities standing on two feet,
Am i unique or just a mix of expectations and choices made to please,
Did I buy that because I want it or because my friends said it was neat,
Am I pretending to be something more than I am,
Like those ads for things that turn out to be a scam,
If they could read my twisted mind,
Even If I was them I’d run a mile,
Am I a fake?
Like those holiday watches ; fated to break?
If this was a diagnosable state
They’d probably lock me away for my own sake
