In Humanities we had to write a poem that of things I have seen or been through that was similar to Romeo and Juliet. This poem is me talking about what I was feeling
I wish there was answers
To stop all this violence
To be brought together
Are you blinded by the lies?
By the darkness in the skies
By lies that are told
Have you ever thought why? Oh why?
Do you really have a reason to be violent
We taught to be rivals
This air is twisted with violence
The violence is not sliences
Violence is death
Violences is pain
That goes day by day
Im taught to love but also hate
How does that work
I’m confused
I’m trapped
By two different things
I’m taught to love but also hate
Hate is hurtful
Love is painful
I want to do the one
but it hurts me I do the other and it hurts someone else
How? How!
I’m stuck!
I’m Confused!
In in love!
I’m Trapped!
Dear Anahi, your poem is really nice that it relates with violence that’s happening in the community or around the world.It seems that you took your time to do this poem working on your similes. The line that I really like was “I’m taught to love but also to hate” I feel that that’s a powerful line to me bc it talks in so many ways.
Dear Anahi,
Thank you so much for sharing your poetry. It’s very good. Your whole poem was very powerful, but the line that stood out to me the most was “Do you really have a reason to be violent
We taught to be rivals” because this made me think about why people are violent. I like that this poem addressed that both love and violence are painful in different ways. Thank you so much for sharing and I look forward to reading your next post.
