This week I'm doing "it was a dream." The first thing I noticed was the uncapatilized I's in the poem. After reading the poem it shows how she's upset with herself and demeaning all the bad she's done by putting herself down and uncapitilizing the one letter we all use and capitalize that represtens us. The cool structure peice i notcied was she wanted it to look like a two stanza poem when really it's a one stanza free verse poem. The small line with "what" breaks the two different thoughts in the stanza. The whole poem is about how she is unhappy and the "greater self" is ashamed because she will never be like her greater self. Even the second little half is begging to be greater but the beautiful perfect half is angry and won't allow it. "and screamed as long as i could hear her This. This. This" I don't know what "this" is but the author does. She knows what it is she can do but believes she can't do it. She turned away and walked until she couldn't hear the hatred anymore.

Interesting. Did you do any research on the poet? Just curious. :)
