This is Todd the person that this poem was written in to fit the way he sees the world.
The homework was simply
But why can't I think
Neil comes in happy
Tells me about a play
He wants to act
Wants to perform
He wants to be on stage
Why is it so hard
Why can't I be free
Why is Neil so carefree
Why can't I speak with confidence
I tell him adopt his father
He tells me not to say a word
That won't be hard
I barely speak at all
I have to write
Something of my own
I have to create a poem
I am trying
But my hand won't move
Neil took my book
Starting to run around the small room
Jumping, laughing, I followed him
I was free
As free as I can be
With the fear following me
What you think? This is a poem based on the Dead Poets Society.
