POEM STARTER

Submitted by Maranda Quinn

'I am made entirely of flaws, stitched together by good intentions.'

Write a poem which begins with this line.

Iโ€™m Trying

I am made entirely of flaws,

Stitched together by good intentions.

โ€œDifferentโ€, I am and always was.

I come across as an abrupt ball of tension.

I struggle to speak when eyes are on me,

And it all started before I was three.


I have only ever meant well,

Though selfish I may seem.

I lived in my own personal hell,

More of a nightmare than a dream.

I want to scream until I collapse.

Or run off into the forest, perhaps.


Iโ€™ll run until I canโ€™t breathe anymore,

My knees tearing at the seams,

While my good intentions pour over the floor.

The silence deafening over my empty screams.

Iโ€™ve always tried so hard,

With my sanity in complete disregard.
