In regards to the movements of the sentences are there only certain sections you would consider to be poems? Or is this as a whole, one long poem that connects under the same idea? At the beginning we understand seeds and growing as something that would be planted into the ground but as we continue to read the question of how do you grow broadens.

But what we fail to realize is that everything is nothing when a person isn't internally happy.…

Hozier is recognized for his sentimental lyrics and use of poetic elements to add musicality and rhythm to his music. Through symbolism, repetition, and…
