The metaphor I wanted to explain is the poem "The Socks" by Jane Keyon. The poem says, " I matched your socks and rolled them into balls then I fill your drawer with tight dak fist." We immediately understand that the speaker is saying the rolled up matched socks are like fists. Not real fists. This poem is very interesting because we have why or like it is uncomplete mystery. We all left with the question what the deal with their   relationship? Why such a combative metaphor and etc. My poem of my like would be a battle. My life is like a competition or a struggle. In a battle, you are always either winning or losing. I wish to look at how life when it isn't always about winning or losing.

The poem that I think relate life would be "A Study of Reading Habits". The topic of the poem is that attempting to disregarding reality doesn’t tackle any issues. This picture show how I stand there and look at my problem then fix them. When I have problem,  I do other thing or face the problem later. Instead of facing  it head on.

The tone of my life would be optimistic. I would first like to start out by saying that optimistic means hopeful and confident.  I am hopeful to achieve my career goals and be successful. I am confident that I will reach this goal because I set goals and put interventions in place to meet my goal. I try to remain optimistic throughout life because that leaves the door open for me to learn and grow as a person.  I surely wouldn't want to have a negative output on life so I'm choosing optimism. I would like to also believe that my parents are optimistic because they always tell me to pursue my dreams and achieve them. 

"What will your verse be?" My verse will be never giving up because great things take time. This is what I believe wholeheartedly. I practice this in my life every day . I set goals and I pursue them, and I never let anything stop me from achieving my goal. I am going to school to become a nurse. I know that I have a long journey ahead of me. I'm excited to pursue a career that help other people. I serve and assistance the elders in my family. We live in a fast-paced world, and everybody is on the go. People are looking for the shortcut. I want to complete the process as a whole so I can understand what I'm doing and be the best that I can be. Just like the story of the Tortoise and Hare, slow and steady win the race. N ever give up because great things take time can be applied to any area of life just have a little patience. I am the source.
