POEM STARTER
"Deep down, you're really shallow"
Paradox - a phrase which would appear to contradict itself, but makes metaphorical sense. Write a poem that starts and ends with a different paradox.
Hold On
The more you try to hold on to love,
The more likely it is to slip away…
I learned this the hard way.
I tried to hold on,
But you pushed me away.
You slipped away from me,
You said you never loved me,
You said I wasn’t good enough,
And yet,
I still tried to hold on.
I tried to prove you wrong,
Day in, day out,
But I still failed
Without a doubt.
Even with my
Efforts,
I still wasn’t good enough for
You.
Deep down,
You’re really shallow…
