POEM STARTER
Write a poem exploring mistakes and redemption.
Humans are fallible, and often the best stories come from our errors. What might you discuss in this poem?
What Did I Do…?
What did I do wrong?
I’m sorry. I know I did… something.
Isn’t this just me though?
I don’t understand,
It doesn’t make sense.
I’m acting strange, I assume.
But why?
And why are you acting even stranger?
Why are you all treating me like I’m insane,
Like I can’t be trusted,
Like I’m falling apart at the seams and you can just stuff me full of cotton to fix me,
But only one person has actually asked if I’m okay?
I know I’m the one being weird,
But honestly, I expected better from you.
