I chose this poem by Christopher Foindexter that states “We build castles with our fears and sleep in them like Kings and Queens”
I thought this poem had a special ability to speak to people from any background because of the universal feeling of fear. I choose the dark castle background because of the obvious connection to the literal words of the poem but also because while the castle is depicted as dar, there is a bright sky beyond. I thought this poem was meant to encourage change, silver linings, and bravery which can all can be personified with a bright blue sky representing a new day. This picture, like the poem, shows the dark side of life but also encouragement to break free.
