Facing It relates to every blog post because it deals with many of the identity problems that Komunyakaa dealt with after the Vietnam War and with his own skin color, which is used in the first line. "My black face fades,/hiding inside the black granite." Notice how black is used twice, which puts emphasis on his skin color as an identity. It also deals with his struggles with his identity of being in the Vietnam War and finally facing it, by both seeing it on the wall and in his head.
