Answer:

The title of the poem suggests that the speaker is unable to be delayed by her own life.

Explanation:

In the poem we can see a 14 year old girl who feels stuck behind and delayed by her own life, we can see that she has a lot of anxiety about her future and her present and this is all highlighted by the loneliness and isolation that she lives with, even within the family itself. The title of the poem shows that the girl is existing, but she does not feel that her life is advancing and progressing.

Here's one example of a 'free verse stanza of poetry.

"Who am I?" -

Who am I, you ask?

I am a lion who comes off as a lamb.

I am an ocean with waves big enough to drown.

I am a roller coaster of emotions.

I am a hater of ignorant people, liars,  

And people who use others for a gain.

I am a lost soul, a naive child.

I am one who has seen enough  

That would make most people's skin crawl.

I am me, not you.  

I am who I am.

Judging me is only a negative reflection on you.

So who am I, you ask?

I am me...just me.

One identification of how my poem can be considered a free verse because many people go threw many questions and common life problems. People may forget what they are and what their life meaning is. So this can be a 'free verse'.

Examine in the picture of George Floyd being arrested. Let your voice be heard by giving sound judgmenton the material presented
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

(I used a picture off the internet)

Explanation:

George Floyd had pain inflicted on him because of the colour of his skin. He suffered at the hands of the authorities, meant to protect all people, eventually leading to his passing. You can visibly see his face writhe in agony and fear. How do we still live in a society where this behavior is still at large? It’s disgusting. People should not ever have to suffer because they are a different skin colour. Children should not have to grow up, in fear that they or someone they love are at risk because they are ‘different’.
