POEM STARTER
Awakening
Write a poem about an awakening - it could be literal or metaphorical.
Identify Me
Identify me, please.
I want to know who I am.
I’ve thought I’ve known a thousand times;
Every face I’ve shown a sham.
16 years and full of life, yet I felt half empty.
Moving on to 21; those i once knew now resent me.
Three years later 24, space in my heart is small.
I thought I saw my reflection, but it wasn’t me at all.
I hear myself in music, read myself in books
I see myself in characters beyond just their looks
All of the pieces should give me an answer,
But I still don’t have a clue.
I’m due for an awakening.
Oh, I need it soon.
