POEM STARTER

Submitted by Maranda Quinn

Beneath the Surface

Write a poem with this theme in mind.

Overwhelmed

When

Did I

Start losing my

Mind


When

Did lies

Take over my

Life


Where

Am I

If I close my

Eyes


(When’s

The last time

I closed my

Eyes?)


& if

The dreams I feel

Are real


& sweet

Life with you so

Surreal


What if

That life just isn’t real

Life just isn’t real


You know I

Overthink

& Over-plan

‘Cause Underneath

All I am

Is terrified

Mortified

Wonder why

I want to cry


I love myself

Yet parallel

I over do

Yet under sell

I know I know

I know me well

I’m overwhelmed

.. yeah

... I’m overwhelmed
