"Do What You Feel Is Right"
by Diana A.
" Her voice waited to speak, but was silent. The women heard herself say, 'Just try, for fun.' She stepped out into the path. She sighed as she asked, 'You?' "
The message of this poem is to do what you feel is right, and don't just follow others. The first part says, "Her voice waited to speak, but was silent." This shows that this person is afraid to say something that might not be "normal" to others. "The women heard herself say, 'Just try, for fun.'" This shows that she is willing to go outside the box, and be different. "She stepped out into the path." This is when she decides to not be a follower and make her own decision by taking the other path. "She sighed as she asked, 'You?'" She sighed because it shows that everyone just wanted to be the same and not different. When she says, "You?", she is asking anyone if they are going to either follow everyone else or be like her.
Great Job!! I agree with this poem. At first I was a bit confused with the poem, but your explanation was great and helped clear things out for me. This reminds me of "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost.
