Battle Within: An Analysis Of The Poem Battle Within
Poem - Battle Within.
Battle Within.
Each day gloomy as the last, with the dimmest light shining through.
Everyday an invisible battle, fighting to keep on going, to not let the demons win.
The smallest light of hope helps you to find your way.
Trying to break free from its hold, this is the dark battle of depression, we can never give up this fight, no matter how many times it tries to control us, for we are stronger than this demon, we can make it through no matter how tough it gets.
We just need that little piece of hope. Poem - May Not Be Around. May not be Around. I may not be around to see such love, or to have comfort from you to me, but I know how much you loved me and what I meant to you, for the love you gave was so warming,
…show more content…
Remember all the good times we shared and smile, don't think of the bad things as I never want you to be sad, just be happy that I don't need to suffer no more,
I'm pain free and always watching over you,
I'm being well looked after up here just promise me, you'll keep hold of those memories, and keep them near to heart, not to cry sad tears but to be happy, you will see me again one day in time, so please be happy and keep those memories near. Poem - I Hear You Ask Where Did I Go. I Hear You Ask Where Did I Go. Where did I go you ask?
I am here 6ft under, in a cold grave yard, where is my soul?
My soul is with you, where it is loved dearly, where it is warm, and missed very much.
Why did I have to go?
I hear you

    As the days go by I feel your light dimming and it breaks my heart. Laura Diaz words cannot explain what you mean to me and as the clock ticks down I'm realizing more and more what I'm losing when you are gone. First, I'm losing a cheerleader. No matter what I did you were always there to cheer me on even ifI didn't reach the finish line you were there to comfort me and remind me to keep going. Second, I'm losing my game show partner. People can only imagine how many nights we had competing against each other. If it was not jeopardy then it was idiotically or wheel of fortune. Finally, I'm losing one of my best friends yes corny but it's true you was more for me then a lot of my friends and I could never thank you enough and even though we…

    Bruce Dawe is a famous poet born in 1930. He incorporated similar techniques in his poems ‘War Without End’ and ‘Description of an Idea’. In the ‘War Without End’ the war is metaphorical and represented as the never ending car crashes and accidents on our roads every year whereas in ‘Description of an Idea’ the war is represented as a historical past event that was associated with the 1989 massacre in Tiananmen Square. Each poem illustrates the similarities between a metaphorical and literal war via the use of repetition, historical references and ambiguity.…

    After you left me all I was left with is shock and great grief I lost you, best friend. I just seem to can’t take in the fact that you left me all alone in this cold hard world and you are not by my side anymore. After you made become a walking zombie. I was too sad and depressed to eat or sleep; or even function right. You were my other half, my twin, but most importantly we were more then sisters. Our friendship could never compare to anything, we were thicker then a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We did EVERYTHING together. The love I have for you no one could ever replace…

    Amidst all the countless struggles, problems and circumstances we faced throughout our journey, still, here we are fighting!, finding our own ways just to survive and even risking our lives and reputation just to say ‘let’s move forward and continue the race of life’….it is because we have this HOPE, hope which we hold that gives strength to us to stand still. But what if, the hope we hold has gone and it seems we are forgotten by our hope for almost a day, a month, and or a year? Would you still hold and believe in your trusted hope? It is, ‘we should not expect something for nothing but we all do, and we call it hope.’ (Ed Howe)…

    During the time of the Harlem Renaissance, literature written by “colored folks” tended to have similar tones, messages, and visuals. These connections can be seen between the poems “We Wear The Mask” by Paul Laurence Dunbar, “If We Must Die” by Claude McKay, and an excerpt from Invisible man by Ralph Ellison, “Battle Royal.” A common tone between the three pieces would be pride. In “Battle Royal” the speaker is incredibly proud of his speech, to the point of delivering it despite coughing up blood and being ridiculed after the traumatic event that he had been put through. Paul Laurence Dunbar wrote his piece with a tone of pride in a sense of colored people not showing when their hurt but holding their heads up high and masking their pain.…

    Sorry, I really am. I know this is hard and you will be disappointed in me but please know there is nothing that could’ve been done to save me. I was far too broken to be fixed. I fought for a long time, I fought for 34 years, beautiful years that I never thought I would get the chance to see, I thank seeing them to you. You were my light, my light that helped guide me through my life, but like all light eventually light dies out and you are left all alone in the dark not knowing where…

    The colors of the desert ran across the canvas of my mind, smudged from the water. Your vision was focused on the horizon, my eyes focused on you. That day we danced and ran and screamed till our lungs gave out, the desert mud staining the soles of our bare feet. Occasionally I believe I can still smell the rain, the mud, you. It is on days like these that I remember vividly, the colors of you violent and saturated. I feel the presence of you in the silence between morning and night, in the moments after a question is asked but before it is answered. I understand that you live inside my head and nowhere else, your address on a street in my mind. But if you do return, I am…

    The poem is about daylight saving time. Daylight Saving Time (DST) is an age-old practice where people would advance time by one hour to extend daylight time into the night. In effect, they would sacrifice sunrise time, also by one hour. People in the regions affected would adjust their clocks around the start of spring. They would change them back to normal time when summer ends. This practice has its root in early societies before the invention of the modern clock. Because most societies were agrarian at the time, and farm work was majorly dependent on daylight, people would plan their day and adjust their time according the length of daylight. Where daylight extended into the night, people would adjust their clocks to accommodate the new timeline, which, in this case, will also continue well into the night.…
