Today we read the poem Mother to Son by Langston Hughes. I learned that life isn’t easy but you shouldn’t give up even when it seems hard. There are many obstacles that we are bound to encounter, but we have to overcome them.
Emily Dickinson
Today we read a poem called I Felt a Funeral, in my Brain by Emily Dickinson. In the poem, she talks about having a mental illness and its effects on her. She uses an extended metaphor about her feeling like she's being buried alive due to this mental illness. I can relate to this because I deal with a lot of mental illnesses and it often feels suffocating. If I let it bottle up for too long it feels unbearable and it's a lot to deal with.
