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…
