POEM STARTER

You are leaving for school for the first time. Write a poem describing how you feel about the adventure ahead.

You could write this from the perspective of any age student, preparing for the next type of school they will attend.

I Cant Keep Doing This

It’s killing me

To pretend

Every day.

To walk

And sit

And stare.

How is

Everyone here

So okay?

What is wrong

Deep inside

That I can’t be?

It all feels

So empty:

Broken promises,

Fake smiles,

Bad jokes.

To be here

Is to feel myself

Slip away.

Yet I keep

Coming back
