Reflection on the poem-- You will never see me fall

1. What 3+ specifics you liked about this poem? 

You Will Never See Me Fall is a wonderful inspirational poem. One thing I loved about this particular poem is that it describes the toughest parts in  life.   When reading this poem the poet reminded me that no matter what, you always have to pick your head up.  Whether it's someone trying to push you down, or even if it's just a bad day, humans were made to put up with things that only make us stronger.  Another thing I enjoyed when reading this poem was the word choice and rhythm that was included in the poem.  When I first read this poem, I felt like I never wanted it to end.   I felt that particular feeling because I think that readers could connect their lives to this poem easily.  I think that each human being has had to go through something difficult, so when readers read this poem I think that they felt an emotional 'pull' towards the poem.  I think that I will treasure this poem forever, so that when I need that push to get right back up I will have the power to be able to.

      2.   What did you learn about writing poetry from reading the poem? 

      After reading the poem You will Never See Me Fall, by Joyce Alcantara, I learned many things about writing my own poetry.  It was interesting to see that all the things that I loved about this precise poem, I would like to combine into my own poetry.  The next time I write my own poetry I would like to combine inspirational lines and words, better rhythm and word choice, and ideas that people can connect to.  I think it helped me to see poetry that included all of these elements, so that I can learn from it and interpret it into my own style of writing.  After reading this particular poem a few more times, I have a better understanding of what I need to do when writing my own style of poetry.  

You will Never See Me Fall

By Joyce Alcantara

You may see me struggle 
but you won't see me fall. 
Regardless if I'm weak or not I'm going to stand tall. 
Everyone says life is easy 
but truly living it is not.
times get hard, 
people struggle
and constantly get put on the spot. 
I'm going to wear the biggest smile 
even though I want to cry. 
I'm going to fight to live 
even though I'm destined to die. 
and even though it's hard and I may struggle through it all. 
you see me struggle...you will NEVER see me fall.
