To me, this line is the most powerful because of how true it is. Basically the meaning that I got from this line was that we watch people just so that we can try and pick out their flaws. It's kind of like we watch people because we enjoy seeing them mess up, or maybe we watch them because seeing them mess up will make us feel better. If you think about it, it really makes sense. Sometimes we get it in our heads that people are "perfect", or "flawless", and we think that they could never do anything wrong. However, we are only fooling ourselves. Everyone messes up someway, somehow, we just might not ever notice it. Either way, finding a way to pick out someone else's flaws is never the right thing to do.
Now that I have read and analyzed this poem, I am assigned to write my own poem. I have to say that usually, when I write, I don't have a designated "theme" for my writing. Instead of having a theme, I let my writing come to me and let it out as I go. I'm going to try that here and see how well it works. After all, aren't all poems are supposed to be unique?
The outside is warm, yet bitter and cold
I look for freedom, because it fills my soul
The house is tumbling, with cracks and mold
We're all searching for something to fill the empty hole
Our hearts suffer from hurt and despair
Because nothing can make us tender and kind
We cry at night because life is unfair
We've got too many thoughts to fill up our mind's
With nothing but hurt to take up our time
What is left to keep us alive?
We take a chance off of the line
Hoping to find some way to thrive
We find this hope, buried deep inside
And decide to try for one last time
