Before I share this with you guys, since this was an assignment, there was a catch. We had to include quotes from a story we read called The Sunflower. The Works Cited will be below. And if the image of the poem doesn't work for you, I'll post the poem in text below the image. I hope you understand.998Please respect copyright.PENANAPDduNccVcX
Wiesenthal, Simon. The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness. New York City: Knopf Doubleday Group, 1970. Print.

Words unspoken
Words barely heard
Those words hurt the most
It’s as if “the world has conspired against”(13) you

We do not meet eye to eye
We both know so
He thinks about things i do not know
He speaks, I break
He can not see but I shatter inside like glass

I know my flaws, he exclaims them
I “accept without protest”(13)
He stomps on the shattered pieces
I cannot do anything but listen
He speaks but he also thinks

His face expresses thoughts without a curtain trying to cover them
I read the thoughts as the glass turns into sand
I try, but he does not see
He continues as I lay shattered across the floor
The words unspoken breaking me smaller and smaller each day
