POEM STARTER
A thruth that's told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent.
Use this quote from the poet William Blake in a poem with a defined structure. As this is a rhyming couplet, your stanza format should follow however you use the quote.
You say....
you say it makes you happy
you say it makes you free
you say you are invincible,
strongest thing to be
but a drug is more than happiness
it comes with a fair price
your friends and possible sanity
is a debt that will suffice
you tell everybody youβre fine
you hide behind a mask
but trying to seem fine when youβre not
is such a difficult task.
they told her it was good
they told her it was fine
they told her it would do no harm
they gave no simple sign.
it was a truth nonetheless
a truth fully meant, but
a truth thatβs told with bad intent
beats all the lies you can invent
