POEM STARTER
Write a poem that begins with a focus on loss, and concludes with a focus on love.
Think about the sturctures and flows that you can use to change the focus from beginning to end.
Loss/ Love
I lost the way I looked at life
I lost the way I thought
Nothing was the same anymore
Not even the way I walked
I used to feel invincible
But now I feel invisible
Sobbing over sounds
Just a little too loud
I lost my sense of wonder
And I grew up too fast
I lost the way I saw your eyes
In every time you laughed
I lost the ability to feel happy
Without consequences
I lost the ability to feel sad
Without going in too deep
Will I ever recover
From this insane mental feat?
Will I love to scream and laugh and cry
And not feel like a wall hosting a fly?
I know it will get better someday
Though it feels so far away
I will hold myself high
Even on the hardest of days
it will get better
Are the words i whisper in the dark
Because if i say it enough
Its bound to happen, right?
