Reflective:
What is the importance of keeping yourself together while in the midst of turmoil? What is the value of this? do you adapt to the turmoil or hold your ground? And before you answer, think carefully: What if the situation is overwhelming and you almost have no choice but to adapt? What if the pressure is too great?
I'm asking as have a friend conflicted about what to do when placed in a suffocating situation. He is in an environment that forces him to change. Does this question how I look at him or hold him high? At what point do you snap and finally give into the pressure? Or are you expected to hold strong? It's almost robotic to ask people to hold themselves and withstand the pressure despite all that is going on around them.But how tough is the human mind? How much can it stand?

I love this poem, it really made me think about the situations people go through. I love how you added that people have to adapt to their situation, this is a great point. The only thing that was confusing in this poem is the beginning of stanza two, "I'm asking as have a friend conflicted..." Just fix that one line, everything else is fine.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great poem. I particularly like the first stanza. I like how you started the poem off with questions. It got your audience attention right off the bat (or aleast my attention)
