This inspiration behind this poem was hurting my ankle. I hurt it during a football game back on October 13th. I have tried my best to stay positive about it. I push away these emotions; anger, sadness, frustration, and hate because they are bad. But it is human to have these emotions. And last week I hit my breaking point. After surgery I didn’t feel good and some very minor thing just pushed me over the edge and I just had to let it out. The emotions were all bottled up. In this poem I used a lot of repetition. Each stanza was 6 lines. The first lines all start with “The”. The second lines all start with “This feeling”. The third lines were all “You push this feeling away and bottle it up”. The fourth lines were all “Then it all comes out at once”. The fifth lines all started with “Like” and all rhymed at the end. Finally the sixth lines were all just the emotion itself. This poem was very easy to write because it’s what I am truly feeling. I enjoyed writing this piece because it allowed me to express myself and sort of ‘let out’ these emotions.
