I visioned those memories,
with all the voices mistaken.
It tears down my pride,
and keeps me all night awaken.
I remember those days,
full of flaws and sadness.
Crying just didn't help,
and I was all alone helpless.
I was all alone in the dark,
no-one even helped.
I was all stuck,
and the world of mine just seemed so small.
My life hasn't even reached a fraction,
yet I felt like the world was falling apart.
I constantly wrote in my lactrum,
and expressed my feelings in it.
Then, my life took a major turn.
Words couldn't simply describe it.
The river of my life had shown,
and it flowed fast, really fast.
Fire ignited my heart,
and ignited my soul.
Just like a draft,
I was soon getting close to the right picture of life.
It was the start of a whole new journey,
the start of a teenager life.
I saw saw the light coming out of the darkness,
and felt a sense to strive.
It was the time to shatter those old memories,
a huge shoutout to the world.
You could say I was a dreamer,
but now those thoughts of yours can now be hurled.
Those impossible dreams were like candle lights that lit,
drowning out all those fears.
Embracing the future,
It just felt so right.
Time will tell.
The future awaits me.
But I know for now,
I am set free.
Bleed It Out
Verse 1)
Yea here we go for the hundredth time,
Hand grenade pins in every line,
Throw 'em up and let something shine.
Going out of my freaking mind.
Filthy mouth, no excuse.
Find a new place to hang this noose.
String me up from atop these roofs.
Knot it tight so I won't get loose.
Truth is you can stop and stare,
bled myself out and no one cares.
Dug a trench out, laid down there
With a shovel up out to reach somewhere.
Yeah someone pour it in,
Make it a dirt dance floor again.
Say your prayers and stomp it out,
When they bring that chorus in.
1)Metaphors are used in this verse as it brings in some unusual elements which has an indepth meaning to the whole verse. I believe this verse has a double meaning. One in which that implies that one cannot escape the dangers in life and the other about violence or death.
Most lines like ' with a shovel up out to reach somewhere' and ' string me up from atop these roofs ' shows death. There are many dangers and thus it could lead to death. Some of the lines talk about war, just like the first four lines in the verse. I'm guessing that these four lines are about the politicants trying to solved problem ongoing in their countries. I assume they are under tremendous stress and are going insane.
I am guessing the reason why the songwriter wrote using Metaphors is that he wanted to add a twist to this verse. He wanted to make it seem extraordinary so poeple would have different thoughts about it. Some people would have thought this song was made without any meaning, and some pondered on what the song was even talking about.
2)I like this whole verse as I find it a very special one. Normall poets would have written their poems in an emotional or an expressive way. However, this verse had random elements in it which makes it really hard for people to understand what the lyrics mean. The writer of this song would certainly have thought in a frustrated manner and wrote all the thoughts that went through his mind. Therefore, I like this verse due to the fact that it is unique.

Term 2 Tests!
So far, I have taken two test this term. One was about writing a letter of request and the other was about answering two questions regarding an extract from the story 'Lamb to the Slaughter'. I did both tests with difficulty as I struggled in some point of time while doing both of them. However , I still believe I would be able to score well for my term 2 tests. I still remember saying that I would study harder in term 2 than term 1. I really hope my marks would show my improvement. On top of that, I did a comprehension which was 20% of our total score to determine our grade in term 2. Mr Lundberg, my english teacher, went through some of the answers and I have lost 3 marks so far. This is an improvement I have seen in my comprehension. I hope my second part of the paper would also give my high marks so that I would get A1 for this assignment.
Look out for more of my blog posts in the near future :)

Urbanisation In Thul
The government of India has decided to build factories in the sleepy and not well-known Thul. The people living in Thul mainly fish and farm for a living. As factories are going to be built there, the people in Thul will suffer a lot in their stuggle to survive. Therefore, they are complaining and wants to oppose to the plan. Many children living in the Thul village claims that they would be able to find a job as a worker in a factory. The truth is- Engineers,mechanics and many other experienced workers would have already been employed by the time the factories are up in Thul.
Not only that, building factories in Thul would also affect the environment there. Sulphur dioxide,dust and ammonia will be scattered cross Thul. Birds would die due to the fact that they breathe in the harmful pollutants in the air. Acid rain would also occur when the rain mixes with the chemicals in the air. People who come into contact with acid rain might fall ill and become sick.
It would also cause water effects and air effects. Poisonous chemicals would be released into the seawater and will pollut it.Villagers that consume the fishes which had consumed poison would be contaminated. Due to acid rain or pollutants, the soil in Thul would become infertile and thus aggriculture would not be able to take place. People would not be able to eat and would suffer of starvation.
Despite all this, the young generation in Thul still remain optimistic. They still hope that they would find jobs working in the factory. However, some others have decided to go to Bombay to work. But it is a matter of fact whether Bombay has enough space to accommodate more people from Thul.
Time is running out. The people living in Thul had better make a move before it is too late.

Ambient Music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkbiB0QfU3s
This song is In The End by my favourite band Linkin Park. The song in the video is in piano version and I believe that it is a good piece of music of the ambient of any of the first five chapters in Village By the Sea. Well most people would have chosen to find a piece of music about the sounds of nature, like the sounds of the waves of the sea,the wind and so on an so forth. However, I have decided to choose this song to express the hardships that Hari and Lila faced while supporting their family. The song has a higher pitch and therefore higher notes are being used. The high pitch of the song could mean that Thul is a calm and beautiful place to live in.
If you were to search the original version of In The End, you would realise that the lyrics of the song is about trying your very best but not being able to succeed. I believe this is what Hari and Lila felt when they were struggling to support their own family.
