Horror. This is sheer horror. The tone is extremely dark. I have yet to read the Diaries of Lisa Lansing, yet I have the feeling it'll make me shiver all through the night, like what this poem is doing to me. The first two lines made me think it sounded too grown-up for a twelve-year-old, but the rest of the stanzas can indeed be attributed to a girl that age.
This is a chillingly dark poem. Yet it conveys the expected emotions--maybe more--for a girl in her situation. Plus the picture after the poem adds to the general atmosphere of foreboding.
Short but concise. And in simple, understandable words. This is one amazing poem about the one thing we love to do but could never explain why--writing. And you get the message across.
I took the test using the link--and it was great! I actually realized a lot about myself. As for the poll, it helped me gauged the personalities of most Writing.Com members. This shed light to some of my questions, particularly on why most poems and items are about sadness and despondency. Thank you ever so much for creating this poll (and placing the link!). Cool poll!
Wow! Proving the existence of God through science--what irony! But it does make sense. I'm no scientist--and some jargons are befuddling my brain--but I do understand, or hope to, what you meant. And yes, I agree with your statement that "Certainty of any kind must have roots deeper than the topsoil of our own universe." That has been used for proof of God most of the time, but no one usually understands that. I must admit, your essay had my brain topsy-turvy, but it made my faith stronger. Strange that science took part in building my faith instead of degrading it.
This is great work, partly because of the analysis, and partly because you have just proved to all agnostic out there that scientific theories don't always work against God.
Alright, I'll be blunt.
The poem is confusing, especially the line "what does it mean to be me?". I thought I got the meaning but apparently it goes deeper than that. It is quite bewildering, honestly. I don't think I got it. But the "idea" I got was of choosing what is really important to you. If that's the gist of it, then I got the point.
The poem is somewhat baffling to a teenager maybe because we are so used to choosing what is best for our image. But I also find it interesting because it makes you think more deeply, and, like the author, do some soul searching.
