As someone who has struggled with mental health, I feel that it is important to spread awareness and always be sensitive to what people are going through. Most of the time these issues are glorified to the point where everyone thinks they have something wrong with them when they don’t know how difficult it may be for people who go through it on a day to day basis. But, people who think they have a problem still have something they are going through to make them think like that. My goal of this project is to prove that everyone’s feelings are valid, no matter who they are or what they go through by comparing life to a thunderstorm. I have completed two other practice poems including a lift a line poem and a golden shovel writing poem. I have also looked at plenty of books and gathered 3 poems to go along with my final piece.
