Okay, so Spring is mostly consisting of other aspects of her marriage such as her children or things that originated out of the marriage. She explains that there are times when she wants to quit and fail. She wants to allow herself to fail. I can see where she gets this. When things, such as finals and stress, come upon me, it seems like it all comes at once. Such as this week, finals week, there is so much that I decide is okay because it's finals week. I say that it's okay to sleep a little more because it's finals week. However, it does not necessarily help me all the time. Sometimes it ends up hurting me more.
It's times like these when I decide that I would almost WANT to fail. Why? Because then maybe it'll show me something new. I've never really failed at anything before except sports, but that doesn't count. It's not something I care deeply about. If I were to fail a music class, I would die. But it would show me something new, I would hope. I'm a very firm believer in "Everything happens for a reason." As Sharon continues on in these poems, I think that she begins to have that process as well. Everything happens so that something else can come about. Something was in the way so it needed to be eliminated.
Sharon is hurt, and she finds herself hoping that she's not the one doing the damage. In her dreams, she might want to fight and hurt, but in reality she hopes that that's not something that's coming about from all of this. She tries to be the bigger person. I think a lot of that comes from her ability to be analytical. It gives her the opportunity to step back and make a decision based on everything—she can make a decision for the masses of people that will benefit them over herself.
