We had to combine a song with a poem or speech. I combined the choruses of three songs with a poem I wrote myself. The songs I used were 'Before I Wake', 'Disaster Hearts', and 'Heads Up, Hearts Down' all by I Fight Dragons. My poem went like this. Please tell me what you think?
I’ll miss my star who guides my path
I’ll miss my moon who calms my wrath
I’ll miss my hero who avenges my tears
I’ll miss my guardian who kills my fears
I’ll miss the good that I have earned
I’ll miss the bad, from which I learned
I’ll miss my rivals who I push to best
I’ll miss my allies who let me rest
I’ll miss my fantasy and its benevolent muse
That saved me from reality’s malevolent ruse
I’ll miss the crazy, I’ll miss the sane
I’ll miss the magic I ( like to think I) have gained
I say goodbye to all these things
Because they could disappear with what Life brings
Tomorrow everything will change
Today will never seem the same
So I will try to find a way
To say everything I need to say
And if I should die before I wake
Remember everything we said today
Because disaster has a way of remaking our hearts
Long after all the thunder and scars
Days pass and bit by bit we begin to restart
Our disaster hearts
So heads up, hearts down
Steady as she goes
Don’t break step
Don’t make a sound
Heads up, hearts down
Noone ever knows
What started this exodus
Onward bound
I’ll miss my star who guides my path
I’ll miss my moon who calms my wrath
I’ll miss my hero who avenges my tears
I’ll miss my guardian who kills my fears
I’ll miss the good that I have earned
I’ll miss the bad, from which I learned
I’ll miss my rivals who I push to best
I’ll miss my allies who let me rest
I’ll miss my fantasy and its benevolent muse
That saved me from reality’s malevolent ruse
I’ll miss the crazy, I’ll miss the sane
I’ll miss the magic I ( like to think I) have gained
I say goodbye to all these things
Because they could disappear with what Life brings
Tomorrow everything will change
Today will never seem the same
So I will try to find a way
To say everything I need to say
And if I should die before I wake
Remember everything we said today
Because disaster has a way of remaking our hearts
Long after all the thunder and scars
Days pass and bit by bit we begin to restart
Our disaster hearts
So heads up, hearts down
Steady as she goes
Don’t break step
Don’t make a sound
Heads up, hearts down
Noone ever knows
What started this exodus
Onward bound
.... and that was the cerebral perception
