WAKING FROM DRUNKENNESS ON A SPRING DAY
REFLECTION AND LESSON LEARNED FROM THE POEM
My
interpretation of this poem is that of a man who wakes up from a hangover
realizing how helpless he was. In relation to that, to be under the power of
alcohol is to feel tired and expressive of unsaid thoughts. It is hard to
deal with emotions when a person is already carried away by feelings. Moreover,
right after being so drunk, you woke up the next morning forgetting or
sometimes regretting what you have done. Regrets of the drunk behavior you have
committed and utter bothers you badly. Then, just like a spring day where
summer has gone and plants started to grow, your hangover shall pass leaving
you with the realization that too much alcohol can drive you insanely loud and
mad that you do not want to try it again. However, it is impossible for a man
to resist the idea of getting drunk when he is used to it.
Personally,
I tried to be under the control of alcohol wherein I woke up the next day
regretting a lot of things I have done and said. It was the worst, but it
taught me a lesson that I should control myself If ever I will taste alcohol
again. Waking up and not remembering things last night makes me feel foolish.
Though I got embarrassed, I learned that it is never too late for me to grow
again. My experience about waking up from drunkenness made me a better person
with a new perspective about moderation and control.
Overall, here are the lessons I have learned from the poem:
- Too much alcohol intake drives a man insane.
- Moderation is necessary.
- Mistakes are temporary; it is never too late to grow.
- Alcohol can make a person feel helpless.
