Comment upon the way the poet makes
meaning in the poem.
What is the poem actually about?
How are literary features used to impact
the reader or contribute to this meaning?

Pronoun
As dawn and morning claw curtains half drawn
like the face in the mirror, full on forlorn
With four AM shadows hung under each eye
Still you wah
you screech
and you cry
Until
like wax, you melt. In my arms.
Suddenly silent. sighlent and calm.
Thinking of Daybreak, listings of things
To do and be done and of telephone rings
Questions and answers and questions to those
tween the hell that is there and the heaven of home
If I wasnt so tired
If youd just let me sleep
Is this what its like now?
Until your eighteen?
School plays and sports days and homeworks not done
That boy that you hate and have a crush on
Parties and bullies and music and trends
PTCs, MTV, things to attend
Bittersweet, days a week, break, fix and mend
Loom bands and rock bands and fall outs with friends
can I have?
Can I go
And Its so unfair
Never free,
Cannot see
Time for me
There.
Or here.
But maybe, I see it in you?
Maybe its ours and your path
I choose
To no longer march to the meter of me
No longer I, but part of this we.
