My father made the walls resound‚ He wore his collar the wrong way round. Come back early or never come. My mother wore a yellow dress; Gentle‚ gently‚ gentleness. Come back early or never come. When I was five the black dreams came; Nothing after was quite the same. Come back early or never come. The dark was talking

    The poem “Creep” has a very dark‚ twisted and displaced feel to it and crates an image of a “psychotic” person obsessing and wanting control over a certain person. Part way through the poem‚ the writer says “I don’t care if it hurts / I want to have control” (12-13). This indicates that one of the characters wants control and will do anything to achieve it‚ even if violence actions are needed. This feeling of dark and twistedness is present throughout the whole poem. This gives the poem an overall

    “Cowgirls Don’t Cry” The song I chose to analyze was “Cowgirls Don’t Cry” by Brooks and Dunn. This song’s lyrics really speaks to me because I was always told this when I was younger and I rode my horse. My Aunt would always tell me‚ “If you fall or get thrown‚ brush it off and Cowgirl up don’t you cry and get back in that saddle.” At first the tone is strong like the father was being towards the daughter telling her that “Cowgirls Don’t Cry”. Then as the lyrics go further on the tone changes

This creates the insinuation that the persona and the person that he/she was describing are very intimate and were
