POEM STARTER

Write a poem inspired by a tarot card.

Some of the characters of these cards include Death, Justice, Judgement, the Moon, the Magician, and many more. What can this character symbolise in your poem?

Bad Behavior

(If the idea of death or losing someone scares you, or if you would prefer to not see something disturbing today, I recommend you look away)



I hear someone’s not doing well, that they may be a little sick

And in my head before I can stop it the movie starts playing

They’ll be dead maybe, in a month, or a week

And yeah the idea definitely scares me, but I’m a psychopath so I find how I can benefit

I see myself going through the stages of grief

Crying, denying, disassociating from it all

And maybe I’ll get pity after a while

Get to do something fun

Find my story on the Internet and I get to meet a star

It’s a stupid reward

And I hate myself for thinking of this

For thinking of the loss of a loved one as a tool to get what I want

So I try to shut down the idea as fast as possible

I’ve read too many sad books with satisfying endings,

To get this kind of stuff in my head

And I try to ignore it

But I still know I thought it

And now you do too
