This poem is having an identity crisis. It's an extra-credit-ified version of "Into Darkness". I just made it relate to Hamlet so I could get bonus points, and strangely, I like it better this way. No title seems to stick though.

The sonnet assignment I didn't hand in... It's about how I dislike my English teacher for giving me bad grades I feel I don't deserve. It's kind of funny, kind of mean, and kind of lame.

Daylight and darkness metaphors... It's about hanging on to the past. I wrote it late last night when I couldn't sleep. It's kind of sad.
