Innledning
The poems written by Rupi Kaur are a travel through love in life. They bring forward the journey of being in love, first by letting the teller become her own person who can then find her match in life.
The second poem takes us beyond the start of a relationship and into the part where things goes wrong, and the last poem is the apology, the part where all has gone wrong and the thing left to do is make amends.
This is what I first thought when I read the poems but reading them again gave me a new perspective, and I realized that the poems are not about loving someone else but about loving yourself.

Finding yourself, by yourself
Being yourself and not what others want you to be
Life is about what is within, and not on the outside.
Utdrag
Through life it is easy to lean on others and let them make the decisions, but by doing that it is easy to become someone different then who you want to be.
The first poem by Kaur is about becoming her own person without another person influencing her to become someone else.
I also think that the poet wants to become her own person, and then she feels as if she can include another person in her life.
But not until she has found herself. To enhance this message the poet uses repetition by putting “I” in the start of each line, this pounds in the fact that the poet only means one person.
---
In the second poem the writer starts off with the word “you” therefore the poet is referring to the fact that someone else is trying to affect how the “I” person is.
It is almost like the person is rebellious and feels undermined and stepped on by the “you” person. by using metaphors such as;
“but I was not made with a fire in my belly so I could be put out” the poet enhances the feeling of rebellious thinking and wanting to become yourself without being chained down by someone else.
