Facing It

Facing It is another poem we were assigned to read in class this week. It is written by Yusef Komunyakaa. This poem I could tell is a war poem, because it clearly says in the poem "the Vietnam Veterans Memorial" and it seems as though it is someone talking about how he is feeling as though he has been through alot and feels like he is still remembering things that he may have experienced and then realizes that what he sees isnt what he thought. I think.
