I believe it is when you reach in your soul and tell tell your truth, and explained what you learned from it. I think it makes you dig deep in your soul, and take a look at yourself and ask “what shaped me into this?” and that's exactly what this assignment did for me. Although painful, this memoir made me relive a dark time in my life but also helped me find peace with it. I finally realized two cliché things to be extremely true, everything happens for a reason and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
In conclusion, my poems are 100% a memoir because, it discuss how an occurrence in my life taught me a underlying lesson. I was able to use the poems to eloquently display a story, and help to show how not every negative in your life, will forever be a negative, Not only that, but how to take your experience and make it positive and not let it ruin you. This is what makes my poems so undeniably a memoir. On a final note, “Each of us is a book waiting to be written, and that book, if written, results in a person explained” Thomas M.
