Im doing an English assignment, and thought I could use a little help...
I have to pick out all the poetic elements in this song.
these are the lyrics:
It was in the march of the winter
I turned seventeen
That I bought those pills
I thought I would need
And I wrote a letter 5
To my family
Said it's not your fault
And you've been good to me
Just lately I've been feeling
Like I don't belong 10
Like the ground's not mine
To walk upon
And I've heard that music
Echo through the house
Where my grandmother drank 15
By herself
And I sat watching a flower
As it was withering
I was embarrassed by
It's honesty 20
So I'd prefer to be remembered
As a smiling face
Not this ****ing wreck
That's taken it's place
So please forgive what I have done 25
No, you can't stay mad at the setting sun
We all get tired, I mean, eventually
There is nothing left to do but sleep
But spring came bearing sunlight
Those persuasive rays 30
So I gave myself
A few more days
My salvation, it came
Quite suddenly
When Justin spoke 35
Very plainly
He said, "Of course it's your decision
But just so you know
If you decide to leave
Soon I will follow." 40
I wrote this for a baby
Who has yet to be born
My brother's first child
I hope that womb's not too warm
Because it's cold out here 45
And it will be quite a shock
To breathe this air
To discover loss
So I'd like to make some changes
Before you arrive 50
So when your new eyes meet mine
They won't see no lies
Just love,
Just love
I will be pure 55
No, no, I know I will be pure
Like snow
Like gold
Like snow
Like gold
help?
