Β Β Β Β Β Β I Wrote This For You is a story written by an anonymous author who goes by pleasefindthis. The book is a collection of 186 different short poems divided into four different groups: sun, moon, stars and rain.
Β Β Β Β The book’s description gives you a preview of how emotional it will be. Β The description starts out with,
Β Β Β Β βI need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you.β This line creates not only mystery and suspense but it also creates a feeling of sympathy for the author from the reader.
Β Β Β Β Β The author relates all of the poems he or she has written in I Wrote This For You back to the one person they want to read this book. Β They call this person βyouβ. The author says in the description,
Β Β Β Β βEveryone else who reads it, doesn’t get it. They may think they get it, but they don’t,β I think this shows the personal meaning behind the book and how each poem can mean something different to each person that reads them.
Β Β Β Β Each poem seems to tell a short story of heartbreak and regret, a poem from the book is called Β βThe Skeletons In The Seaβ,Β βTruth is the last thing I can take because itβs the last thing you took.β
Β Β Β One of the main feelings I get from this poem is sorrow because what I think it means is that someone lied to the author right before they left him or her.
Β Β Β Β All of the poems in I Wrote This For You Β have very deep meanings to them, even though most of the poems are only one or two sentences, occasionally there is a poem that is a couple of paragraphs long.
Β Β Β My favorite poem from I Wrote This For You is called βThe Children Of Timeβ, a line from this is,
Β Β Β Β βSunday knows sheβs the end. But she closes her eyes, and she pretends with all the strength in her tiny heart that really, she’s the dawn.β
I believe that this line shows that even when you know something probably will not end up going right in a situation you should still have hope because you really do not know for sure how something will turn out in the end.
Β Β Β Β Β Overall I Wrote This For You is a really great book that everyone should read.
