Trust yourself

I’m not scared

Jesus Christ

loves

me

Trust me?

Would you lie to me?

Scared tonight

feels like teenage fever

My Found Poem comes from the lyrics of “Teenage Fever” by Drake. The song shows different emotions and brings many thoughts by being a teenager. Relating to the song really makes me look at it in a different perspective then others and using the lyrics was easier for me to make my found poem.

The main idea of my found poem is in the title of it, “Trust yourself”, The way i chose to go about it was to find lyrics to show emotions that people express or even keep inside. In the opening line of my poem I wanted to start off by throwing people that read it off by saying “I’m not scared” but with the lines followed it explains how trust is not being shown by asking if the person trust them. Jesus Christ is someone people trust go to to talk to and tell him their secrets and sins, Myself included. As a teenager I go through these emotions everyday because now that I am in college I really saw who to trust and who not to trust back in high school. Knowing that I would tell some of my closest friends from high school secrets and they would go behind my back and tell other people, but not just them would do it, I am guilty of it too. This is the point I am trying to get across, Knowing that I make the same mistakes as others when they put their trust in me goes to show you really can only trust yourself because I know I am not the only person on this earth that does this.
