Write about a book, poem, or article you’ve read that made you feel something deeply—whether it was joy, anger, sadness, or curiosity. What was the text, and what moment or message stood out to you the most?
A poem that made me feel sad was called "Poison Tree" by William Blake. The poem describes the reader's anger as growing into a tree that makes poisonous apples. The danger of bottling up your emotions and how doing so leads to a cycle of negativity and violence. I found the line " And I watered it in fears, Night and morning with my tears." intriguing to me. I'm not a big fan of poems, but I found it through a song while trying to search it up, and that was the first thing that came up. I'm curious most of the time, so I read it out of boredom. I then started getting more into it and reading meanings about it. It's the only poem I've been able to understand and relate to. I think it definitely made me open up a bit more to others and realize things. I never want to be the worst ever again.
