Analysis of Flawed
Emma Oglesby 2006 (Missouri)
My flaws are immense
and I'm a bit dense
My thoughts don't make sense
and I'm always tense
I'm in a loop
Jumping through hoops
I wanna get loose
and put down the noose
Can I let go?
or go with the flow?
I just don't know
If I can reap what I sow

About this poem
I wrote this poem in the midst of class at a time when I was just mad at the world. Writing this really helped me be able to come out of the phase and begin to be better.
