I may not say anything.

But I do notice everything.

Constantly around people that I call my friends.

They act as if i’m invisible.

Pretending i’m not there.

Like i’m a stranger to them.

Feeling the need to lash out.

Praying that something will make me explode.

Matches being lit inside of me.

But it all burns out in the end.

My heart made of glass.

But my mind is stone.

Tearing me into pieces.

What we had has gone to waste.

1. I published an inspired by poem.

2. The source for my inspired by poem was a song called “lovely” by Billie Eilish ft. Khalid. I chose to do this song because it matched my theme and I can relate to it.

3.  The tone of my poem is lonely.

4. The theme of my poem is how friends can impact a person.

5.

Quote one: “My heart is made of glass.”

Type of figurative language: The type of figurative language demonstrated in this line is personification.

How it contributes to tone and theme development: The quote demonstrates how someone’s heart can be delicate.

Quote two: “Matches being lit inside of me.”

Type of figurative language: The type of figurative language demonstrated in this line is metaphor.

How it contributes to tone and theme development: The quote demonstrates how angry a person can feel when their friends are making them unhappy.

6.

Revision one: In line seven, I changed “yell” to “lash.”

Revision two: I substituted “Like i’m not there” to “They act as if i’m invisible.”

7. This poem was easy to write because it is something I can relate to a lot.

8. On a scale of 1-10 I am a 10, i’m satified with this poem because it is something I worked hard on and it came from my heart.
