Carlos Drummond De Andrade "Don't Kill Yourself"

In his poetry Andrade encourages us to continue living even if we face difficulties because life is not as easy as we might believe it is. Andarde even explains that life is not so easy with the contrast that he uses when he says HAPPY and SCREWED UP. I really like how he presents to the audience and to the reader the truth on life, and than does not find escaping the truth or committing suicide as a solution. He states that we should continue living the life even though we might feel hopeless at one moment. Moreover, Carlos explains how people hide their true feelings and their sadness deep within their hearts, because they are used to do so, rather than express themselves to someone and feel better. I really find my personality here, because I am the kind of the person who does not express the feelings in front of someone.
