Text Prompt: Write a poem from the point of view of yourself, ten years ago.

 

I’m going to do it

Should I do it

What if no one reads me

What if no one cares

 

What if I don’t say it right

What if it falls flat

What if it’s all for naught

I’m going to do it

 

I’m going to do it

I’m going to step out on faith

I’m going to write my heart

I’m going to let it out

 

And if I don’t say it right

And if it falls flat

And if only one reads

I’m going to do it
