POEM STARTER
Write a poem titled βYou Never Asked, Butβ¦β
Unsaid sentiments may be a prominent theme in this poem.
you never asked but
you never asked me
how it felt
when you yelled
you never asked me
what was wrong
when i cried
so iβll tell you
now
that when you tell me
that iβm keeping
our family hostage
i feel my heart
crush like a grape
and when you
never asked what
was wrong
i never told you
how i feel trapped
in my own skin
every time
you force me
into a corner
because where should
i go when both
you and mom
team up on me?
where do i go
when the two people
i should be able to trust
become the two people
i never want to go to?
you never asked
where all these tears
come from
and let me tell you
these tears come
from that heart
you shattered
and drip harmlessly
on the ground,
a funny way of
the irony of it,
that these tears from
harm do
nothing
to save me
n o t h i n g
at all
