• The sound of my pencil tapping fills my room
    I struggled to come up with a memorable moment to write as a poem
    Then I think to myself “Isn’t poetry the words of one’s soul?
    Not the words that is asked for?
    Why do schools make us write ‘poems’ with a limited topic?
    Poems that is asked by someone is just words with rhythm
    Poems that one writes by themselves is poetry
    So why limit us to a small topic,
    What if our soul’s are screaming something else?
    So why write ‘poems’ if it’s not a poem?
    So why call ‘poetry’ poetry at school?"
