POEM STARTER
Submitted by Brittany Lawson
Write a poem about someone stuck in a cycle of self destruction. Just as they are about to exit the cycle or have a breakthrough, the poem starts back at the beginning.

Everyday is just the same
I wake up next to you, broken flame
Affirmations, gestures, romantic nights
All I’ve asked for and it just ends in fights
Where does it get me
Circling ‘round and ‘round
I try to build you up
But instead it just brings me down
I remind and schedule
You neglact and nag
I’m a mother to two
Yet I parent three
