Timothy Girl Poem Glog Statement

There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own

heart. (Sarah Dessen). I had a journey that led me to understand what my heart was

saying and a literal journey. I had written a poem before this one, but I wasnt satisfied

with it. I realized that the one important thing in my life wasnt there: my faith. When I

wrote this poem I made sure faith was omnipresent. The main journey seen was the

little girl growing up, losing her father, having to care for her sister and mother, but

leaves home and breaks the chains from her familys past.

It is literal in the way that Im showing its me. Its figurative, because I used a lot

of imagery, metaphors and symbols to represent certain emotions, ideas and snapshots

of my life. The right side is italicized, because its my inner thoughts, songs and bible

verses.

The violin is one thing that even though it wasnt stated in my poem, represents

the theme in my poem. I performed the song in my background with my violin at my

church. For me, the song creates a nostalgic mood. I believe the song makes thepoems emotion and theme more present. I want my audience to feel accomplished by

the end, like the girl in my poem. The violin in the background is the finishing touch; the

bow on the present.
