Gandhi

I keep forgetting to try to find inspiration.
I think that's why I find the angels and muses thing a bunch of bull.
Whenever I try there is a wall that shuts me off from the light.
And hopefully I can have a last time that I see the light.
When will we own ourselves completely?

Song Stories

Title: Mocking Bird

Setting: It takes place in apartments, a recording studio, and during Christmas. It jumps around a lot but it just goes through the years in the life of Eminem

Plot: He talks about his life being hard and the trials that he has gone through. He is also talking to his kids as an apology letter and comforting them saying, "Everything's gonna be alright."


Characters: Eminem, Wife, Kids

Conflict: He's struggling to make a living and keep his family together throughout the hard times that he is going through.

Theme: It kind of sounds like an apology letter like I was saying before. I think the theme would be to keep pushing through the hard times because things will get better.

Title: Bed Intruder Song

Setting: In the ghettos of Lincoln Park

Plot: It comes from news footage of someone breaking in to the apartments in Lincoln Park and trying to rape a girl. The brother comes out and starts talking trash but it completely fails.

Characters: Brother, Sister, Rapist

Conflict: A rapist came after a girl and the brother isn't happy about it.

Theme: Hide your kids, hide your wife. And also you don't have to come and confess because we're looking for you and, "we gon find you".

Jealousy

We were supposed to choose one person in particular but for me it's a lot more than just one. I'm jealous of everyone that is able to write really deep and be able to fifty different meanings when the way they actually meant it is right in front of you. There are a lot of people that can do this and I don't know if it's where they are, their mind set, or even the time of day but it never works for me. I can sit down and try to be as deep and meaningful as possible but it comes out like writing from a second grader. That is what I wish I could do, and sadly it's a big part of writing. I'm just glad that this isn't something that I intend to do later in life.
