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
