POEM STARTER
Inspired by Hollow Oaks
Can You Hear Me?
Write a poem that could have this as the title.
Can You Hear Me?
I’m trapped, encircled by walls
Walls that I built to keep the world out
Out of my hair, so I’m away from danger
Danger both physical and mental
Mental like my words that no one can hear
Hear me please, I’m trying my best
Best isn’t good enough, I’m not enough
Enough for this world of perfection
Perfection that is flawed, blinded by outward beauty
Beauty I don’t have, I am nothing
Nothing to anyone, no one cares
Cares aren’t a luxury I have, try to think
Think about one question, can anyone hear me?
Me pleading for help, is anyone there?
There to get me out
