Poem Commentary

I wrote this poem my senior year of high school. It was a time of deep conflict for me. I was in a very tumultuous relationship with a boy & my relationship with my parents was strained. It was a time of deep conflict for me. I had my boyfriend pulling me in one direction & my parents pulling me in another. I felt like I had no voice & no choice.

This Life I Live....

 

Sometimes I wonder...
Why do I exist?
But this life I live...
I can not resist.

At times...
I am content.
But this life I live...
I resent.

At times...
I get mad.
But this life I live...
I must have.

At times...
I am depressed.
But this life I live...
I will repress.

At times...
I feel hate.
But this life I live...
I am made to take.

At times...
I am lonely.
But this life I live...
Is my only.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
