POEM STARTER
Write a poem about choosing between following your heart or following your head.
I Followed What Was Best For My Heart
I like him
I can’t not admit it
He consumes my every thought
But… he’s a year older.
& I don’t even know if he likes me back
But I feel like he does
Am I even ready for this?
Already, my grades are beginning to suck again in this class
I think people can tell he likes me
Am I ready?
He’s going to college next year
Local
Do I actually want this?
Really?
It’s difficult to talk to him
So clearly there’s something there
Do I want this.
…not really…
So I don’t ask for his number
& I slowly stop talking to him
& then I realize I like someone else
Also in the same class
& now I’m glad I didn’t ask for his number
I no longer have feelings for him.
