National Poetry Month – Day 2

Theme: Truth

Truth doesn’t always arrive gently. Sometimes it takes time to understand, sometimes it hits all at once, and sometimes it changes us in ways we didn’t expect. Not every truth feels good, but it always reveals something. Today we explore the truths that shaped us, challenged us, and made us see things differently.

⸻

Prompt 1 – The Truth I Had to Grow Into

Write a poem about a truth you did not understand until later in life. Something that only made sense with time, experience, or distance.

⸻

Prompt 2 – When It All Made Sense

Write a poem about a moment where clarity came all at once. A realization that shifted your understanding in an instant.

⸻

Prompt 3 – Truth Doesn’t Always Feel Good

Write a poem about a truth that changed you, even if it hurt. Something that forced growth, reflection, or a different way of seeing things.
