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
