Man did this poem jump all over the place! I had to go through it like three times to try and figure out what was going on. I'd say that it felt overall dark and moody at the beginning. Maybe it was the way I read it the first time through, but I guess it's what hit me. After reading what Meghan wrote, I think I understood it better. Perhaps it's about perseverance. Times are going to get tough and it takes strong moral fiber to take them in stride and work hard through them. I'm sure that we've all understood that we have taken on a lot of responsibility and it might be hard at times. But patience is key and if you can knuckle down in the clutch, you'll make it through.
