An Identity - Some Girl
I had one once -
an identity
having one meant
the world to me -
an identity
before it was
taken from me
I knew who I
was and
who
I'd become
without it I
was no one -
lost
identity
I no
longer
understood
understood the
meaning of
life
I need it back
-
my identity
Explanation:
The theme of this poem is identity. The poet shows the theme of identity by someone losing themselves, and not knowing who they are. This poem sounds like the person is telling us a story. Saying how he used to have an identity. But then when it was gone, he was lost. He didn't know what to do. He doesn't understand life anymore, the point of life. There weren't any poetic devices I could find in this poem.
