Today we read the poem “I, Too”. It opened my eyes to discrimination in America and how some people have to fight to be included as an American citizen. The lines “They’ll see how beautiful I am, And be ashamed” really resonated with me.
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.
