I have to write a poem based off "Stop being a chicken. Be yourself" And I can't think of something to write about. Do you have any ideas?

Answer 1

Think of something that you dread doing. For instance, many people really are terrified of speaking in public. Others are afraid of swimming.
All of us have something we had really rather not do. Then think of reasons why you don't like doing that thing. For instance I had a student who said that when he was speaking, all he saw was thousands of eyes drilling holes in him. One of my sons told me that he didn't have fins so there was no reason why he should learn to swim.
Then see if you can find some "humor" to go with it.
After you have written the poem, please repost and we will be glad to make suggestions.

Answer 2

There are always things we don’t like doing.
Is it sports, swimming, or even speaking?
We run away from our fears like little kids.
Embrace them instead.

Fighting fears is one way to get rid of them.
Scared of silly spiders?
Squish them like the little bugs that they are.
Never hide your fears.
Embrace them and you’ll forget them
