SOAPSIS OH NOPESIS

Actually learn something from doing it

Not all poems can be analyzed

Anything can be a poem

Looking at a piece of writing closely

You can do it too!

Zayn from one direction analyzes poetry too

Everyone should do it

Sophomore Year

Looking back at my sophomore year

It was really stressful for me

I made so many friends

And went through a lot of struggles

But I made it

And the summer is here

I wish I was not so skinny

I wish I could stay awake

I wish I could fall asleep

No need to cover up

Ode to Road Trips

Freedom, on an open road

No plan, no where to go

Sun setting behind us

As we drive off in the distance

Keep each other busy

As the miles go up

And our home town thoughts

Escape further and further

From our ambitious minds

[suchpoetrymuchwriting]

The Selfie

Pictured perfectly

She is beauty, she has style

Look at that cute smile

That is such a great filter

Hair is styled perfectly

[suchpoetrymuchwriting]

The Angsty One

All around me are forced smiles

Like walking mannequins

Real life barbie dolls

Still striving to be perfect

but barely skimming the surface

Just continuing to be fake

Question/Responses to "Pretty"

Pretty is a very deep poem that explains the pressure to be perfect when you dont really need it. Its not worth it trying to fit in, because yeah you will be able to fit in but is it worth the struggle of keeping up when you can just be fun and be yourself.

Myself

Do I look good enough?

Am I cool enough?

Am I skinny enough?

Am I tan enough?

Am I too annoying?

Maybe you should tell me what clothes to buy

And tell me to smoke a pack

Or maybe just stop eating

Or rent a tanning bed

Or maybe just not talk at all

Or maybe

Just maybe

I could be myself

[suchpoetrymuchwriting]

Summer

So close

U need to come faster

Must have you

Make me tanner

Eager for you to get here

Really need you to get here
