Written for ViM's Found Poem Friday :) The prompt: Write a found poem with the lyrics from "Creep" by Radio Head. Keep in mind, you are limited to only use words that are FOUND 😉 in the original work (no words can be used that are not in the song lyrics)
~
i belong in a perfect hell
not your beautiful world
i wish you were happy
but i'm not in control
so i run...
i don't wanna fuckin' run
i want to float like an angel
i wanna belong
you want a perfect body?
i want a perfect soul
i don't care if i cry
but your beautiful hurts
you're so special
i'm a creep
whatever
you belong here
i don't
so i run...

You nailed it!!!
This is the best one I've seen on this prompt. Excellent work.
"But I'm not in control". That line hit me so sad 🥺 Loved your poem so much my sweet looney partner!
Holy MOLY that's powerful! "you want a perfect body? i want a perfect soul," is a line that will stay with me. Wow, Heather! Just wow!
Oh, this is breathtaking! I agree with Lamar - ‘You want a perfect body? I want a perfect soul’ was spectacular! 😍
Hi-H - Happy ‘Perfect’ Mom’s Day - Breaky in Bed 🛌, then — Always Mom’s favorite 🥯☕️❤️— j.in.l.a.
Ha! Awesome! ‘You want a perfect body? I want a perfect soul’ Love the placement of those lines. We can’t always get what we want. I remember cranking that tune every time it came on MTV.
