POEM STARTER

The Burden of Memory
Write a poem that could have this as its title.
Spellbound: It’s Me
Remember when you bumped into me
Your warm arm brushed my elbow
Stumbling you caught me
First time in your arms
First of many
In your spotlight
Me
Special warm safe
Happy in your world
Your friends, your family, your things
Remembering my lines
Rehearsing what’ll say to keep you happy
Pretending we’re okay so hard I forgot the
Me
Behind the fake smile and canned laughter
You brushed against me
Quick peck on the cheek
And I remembered when you bumped into
Me
