POEM STARTER
Write a poem from the voice of someone who is worrying about something.
Consider the style and layout of your poem to best reflect your character's emotions and thoughts.
What If
What if the future never comes
What if it comes tomorrow
What do I do if the plan I have for tomorrow doesn't work
But maybe the plan goes exactly how I want it to but I don't like the end
Am I running away from everything I need
What if in my running I run right by what I really need
But it feels like running is the only way to get to what I want
What if I just do what the people I care about want me to do
Yet they all want different things for me
I'm scared I’ll get to the end of my days looking back upon my life I realize that I left the most important thing behind
But what if I just stick by your side
What if all I really need is your hand in mine
What if when we walk together we miss all the wrong things and find all the perfect
What if all this worry is for nothing because with you all the what-ifs fade
