POEM STARTER

Write a poem about a lie that spirals out of control.

Consider the structures and devices you could use to show the repetition and amplification of the lie.

Fine

I’m fine

But i’m not fine

But I hide behind a smile

Cause it’s better than explaining

That I feel empty

But I don’t want to die

Cause they’ll just say

“You’re fine”

But i’m not

Not fine.

Not OK.

Not happy.

Why can’t you understand

That I want to be

Left alone

But I don’t want to be

Lonely

I want to be happy

But I’m not

Happy

I’m not

OK

But I guess

I’m fine
