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.
Was once
Darkness was once light
Day was once night
Dim was once bright
Life was once death
the opposite one in the same
Death was once life too
Enemies were once friends
Strangers were once lovers
You were once my everything
Adults were once kids
Memories were once alive
Love was once easy
Time falls too fast
Moves quickening
in a sickening manner
Once was once was once
Everything is a never ending circle
That we don’t realize we are trapped inside
