Brooke's poem analysis

 The theme of both poems is emotional and physical pain. both authors have captured darkness and destruction in very few words. I don’t know who wrote these peoples but their writing styles are similar. In the poem about the pretty picture the author wrote “she paints a pretty picture, but the picture has a twist you see her paintbrush is her razor and her canvas is her wrist” The author used an alliteration and it really was put to good use. The quote plays over in your mind, its so beautiful but the subject matter is so dark. As you continue to read the poem about the pretty picture the author writes the same quote with a twist. “She paints a pretty picture but her picture has a twist, you see her mind was her razor and her heart was her wrist.”. The author takes it from physical pain being inflicted to emotional pain brought upon this girl. The quote makes you rethink the whole poem and it makes you question and think, what is this poem really about? Is it about suicide? Or is it all in her head?. The second poem is also about cutting and suicide but it’s more to the point and sweet. Even though it is shorter, the second one is still able to pull on your heartstrings and that is because of the subject matter. The second poem also speaks about the reactions of others. It ended beautify with “Their emotions tangle the room begins to swirl she was mommy’s angle and daddy’s little girl”. I think it was really interesting because when reading about suicide people don’t usually talk about how it affects other people
