Tyler Thomas Period 2 October 21,2012

I was asked to create a poem that reflects my journey in life, along with a statement that conveys a deeper analysis of my original poem. Hopefully this process will help my audience grasp a better understanding of my poem and my journey in life. The journey described by my poem is a person flying off into the world, while encountering some minor setbacks, realizes that personal determination is key to continuing a journey to accomplish ones desired goals. The theme conveyed in the poem is that essentially, determination is a prime factor for success, realizing that the journey of a lesson never ends. It also reflects on how the individual may be abandoned throughout the process of persevering to meet their goals, but still manages to be courageous and take the journey. This poem presents a figurative journey of my life and a literal journey to a few others. This poem was inspired by peers in my school community that felt that the only motivation they had, stemmed from their own personal determination. This poem expresses that in some cases in life, you may be left alone to persevere and achieve your desired goals without any external help. The attributes added to my Glog greatly enhanced the meaning of my poem. The background is a picture of a beach with relaxed waves creeping up on the sand, but the sky however has a mixture of dark clouds that eventually converge over to form a bight sky. The dark sky represents the troubles and obstacles that a person goes through, and the bright sky shows that when you overcome your struggles in life alone, you start to become happy, feel bright, and uplifted. I tried to exert a calm relaxed tone to express that as long as you push yourself and work hard, everything will eventually fall into place. Creating this poem really opened my eyes in realizing that nothing just comes to your doorstep. It taught me that working hard and having self determination will help you achieve your goals. In my home environment, I have all the support in the world, but the motivation wasnt stemming from me, internally. I assumed that my parents were going to do everything for me, and I would worry about nothing. I eventually learned that in life you have to want it for yourself and
