Poem


Why must we tear down others?

Why must be rude to those different than us?

Why must we bend rules that are not meant to be broken?

Why can't we appreciate those who do their best to please us daily

Why can't society accept that we are all different?

I myself am still

learning.

Maybe my experiences can teach

others.

Maybe I can learn from

others.

Maybe, just

maybe.


TECHNIQUES:

ANAPHORA- repetition of same word

I've learned fro this year that it is harder for me to become engaged in topics I am not interested in. With my personal narrative, I did not put my all into it. I felt like since I had told the story of my hose being flooded so many times that it was boring. I also did not like the book we ...

  So over the last couple of weeks, I'd been in a funk. I didn't want to talk to people. I wasn't eating as much. I was sleeping away my problems! I wasn't even getting my nails done as often as I love to!  Which I get done basically every week. I was confused as to why my spirit was so negative and gloomy. Then it finally clicked for me. It wasn't me! It was the negative energy around me. At the time, my "so called friends" were talking about me, leaving me when things got rough, and  not checking on me at all.   If you know me, you know I'm a very spiritual person. I started to pray at night and stay to myself a little bit more to start growth within myself. What I learned from this experience was two major things that have helped me become a better person. First, I learned God allows things to happen in your life so that you can grow spiritually and mentally as a person. He allowed me to notice my "best friends" were changing on me. The ...
