They smile in my face
but in their eyes I see the hate.
My brother gone but I’m
still holding strong
look into my eyes and you’ll
never know what’s wrong
sometimes I cry but I’m
still holding on
look into my eyes and you’ll never know what’s
wrong.
Came from nothing
now they want me to
stop
Pockets swollen
I had holes in my
socks

ReplyDeleteI liked this poem I think the message is never give up because in the poem it says my brother gone but im still holding strong.
DeleteI thinks the central idea is to be kind to everyone.
ReplyDelete"They smile in my face but in their eyes I see hate" I think this means that everyone was being fake to you and they should just be nice to you because they don't know what you've gone through in the past
ReplyDeleteThe mood of this poem is anger it says "They smile in my face but in their eyes I see the hate." So they are saying how they are angry or how other people are angry.
ReplyDeleteI believe the central idea is depression adn the quote is"sometimes i cry but im still holding on"and i believe the message is that even though you are going through rough times you can still go through it and the quote is" My brother gone but I’m still holding strong"
ReplyDeleteThis is a really interesting poem, and it really displays what I believe to be the lesson well. The message I took away was that you should persevere through struggles because they will work themselves out. One line that made me come to this conclusion was "sometimes I cry but I'm still holding on." This was really meaningful to me, and you've done great work on this piece!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a phenomenal poem. You really did a great job. I think the central ideal to this amazing poem is sadness because of the line "sometimes I cry but I’m still holding on". Thanks again for sharing this great poem with me.
