To Myself -- Poetry Response #4

"To Myself" is a poem that is not quite as interesting as others. It seems to be written as a stream of consciousness. It doesn't have any breaks or punctuation at all. This form of writing is typically a little bit harder to follow. The poem really seems to be the author reminding himself to find himself. This is fairly relatable, but I feel like my definition of "myself" is always being changed at least a little bit. The poem really never comes to a close, so this could be a reflection of a person's continued search for "their self". This poem didn't really have some deep and complicated meaning. This is both good and bad. It is nice to have an uncomplicated poem; however, some meaning makes analysis of the poem seem worthwhile. I didn't enjoy this poem as much as some of the others. I think my biggest issue was how the whole thing sounded like nonsense.
