I always had a difficult time physically expressing myself, especially when it came to physical relationships. The first poem I wrote for a girl was strange, I never knew how to write well or  how to find the words to express how I feel and now all my weakness were fighting against me. This was in middle school, a time where love meant everything and losing it was basically social suicide. I took days to even text out what I wanted to write and it mainly came from cheesy rom-com tropes and basic literary devices. The closer I got to writing it out on pen and paper the more I was scared to express myself. But when I did finish I was proud, I was proud of the expression and art I made.

Summary: We read and rated our understanding of a poem, we read and read and listened

Reflection: I'm not great at understanding connections and COMPARISONS but its interesting to see
