While creating my poem I kept think this poem kind of represents me in a way. I say this because I use to be a nice and wonderful, kind, and nice kid. Now I feel like I'm a dark person who really doesn’t care about anything. In the poem it says everything that has happened to the girl is bad but she puts on a mask and acts like everything is ok. This is why I believe this poem can relate to me as a person.

The reasons for me using the poetic devices I used were because I thought they fir with the poem. I used the similes because when a think of a happy or nice person it reminds me of the sun. I say the sun because the sun is bright. In this way a person who is always shining brightly can make you feel better. The candle is a good choice in my opinion because when a candle just gets lit it can lighten up a room, but when it starts dying out its shine dies along with it. This can be a metaphor for a person because when a person is born they're happy but as time goes on their happiness can get shorter every day, moth, or even a year. The repetition of words was because I think it had a nice ring to it and it makes easier to read to words.
