Thinking map number 1 Lyrics Name:"Girls like you" http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/.../3530822107858846047/ Lyrics: Whirlwind run Further and further away Into the sun In, 20 minutes Everyone will remember you when you're gone And your heart, is a stone Buried underneath your pretty clothes Don't you know people write songs about girls like you? What will you do when something stops you? What will you say to the world? What will you be when it all comes crashing Down on you little girl? What would you do if you lost your beauty? How would you deal with the light? How would you feel if nobody chased you? What if it happened tonight? How would you cope it the world decided to Make you suffer for all that you were? How could you dance if no-one was watching And you couldn't even care if they were? What would you do if you couldn't even feel? Not even pitiful pain How would you deal if the indecision Eating away at the days?
Don't you know people write songs about girls like you? About girls like you About girl like you Don't you know people write songs about girls like you? About girls like you About girl like you Everything you say is higher All the things that make you lighter Everything you say is higher See it in the grey you crier Don't you know people write songs about girls like you? About girls like you About girl like you Everything you say is higher All the things that make you lighter Everything you say is higher See it in the grey you crier

True Love Poem (Text) by Robert Penn Warren
In silence the heart raves. It utters words Meaningless, that never had A meaning. I was ten, skinny, red-headed,
Their father was what is called a drunkard. Whatever he was he stayed on the third floor Of the big white farmhouse under the maples for twentyfive years.
Freckled. In a big black Buick, Driven by a big grown boy, with a necktie, she sat In front of the drugstore, sipping something
He never came down. They brought everything up to him. I did not know what a mortgage was. His wife was a good, Christian woman, and prayed.
Through a straw. There is nothing like Beauty. It stops your heart. It Thickens your blood. It stops your breath. It
When the daughter got married, the old man came down wearing An old tail coat, the pleated shirt yellowing. The sons propped him. I saw the wedding. There were
Makes you feel dirty. You need a hot bath. I leaned against a telephone pole, and watched. I thought I would die if she saw me. How could I exist in the same world with that brightness? Two years later she smiled at me. She Named my name. I thought I would wake up dead. Her grown brothers walked with the bent-knee Swagger of horsemen. They were slick-faced. Told jokes in the barbershop. Did no work.
Engraved invitations, it was so fashionable. I thought I would cry. I lay in bed that night And wondered if she would cry when something was done to her. The mortgage was foreclosed. That last word was whispered. She never came back. The family Sort of drifted off. Nobody wears shiny boots like that now. But I know she is beautiful forever, and lives In a beautiful house, far away. She called my name once. I didn't even know she knew it.
Thinking map Lyrics number 2 song Name:" pull my heart away" by Jack Pe単ate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKLOWQZaQB8&list=PLjxO_okjWqobUMt0abukEKCWcYV3jcAe3 Lyrics:
I'm ripping your posters off the wall I'm moving the boxes into the hall I stop when I hear a drumbeat call Must be a sign, it is time I need to take myself away From the pillowed hand on which I stand And throw me out of the side of a plane And I'll just see where I land I will have to pull my heart away 'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday It's not like my feet are stuck to the floor It's not like I'm wanting to know about the door I want you to throw my shoes in the fire And I'll watch the souls burn on the funeral pyre And I'm over and it will change my position And I'll know that nobody, nobody's listening And that's easy for me and it's better for the soul And it's better for you and it's better for all I will have to pull my heart away 'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday I will have to pull my heart away 'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday I'm over with words, I'm moving in lines
And all that I put is jump up inside, jump off the side I will have to pull my heart away 'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday I will have to pull my heart away 'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday I will have to pull my heart away

How Do I Love Thee? by Elizabeth Barrett Browning How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of being and ideal grace. I love thee to the level of every day's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for right. I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better

Song number 1st for song choice Name :"Call It Off" T&S http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llwjy3YP_dw Lyrics I won't regret saying this This thing That I'm saying Is it better than Keeping my mouth shut That goes without saying Call, break it off Call, break my own heart Maybe I would have been Something you'd be good at Maybe you would have been Something I'd be good at But now we'll never know I won't be sad But in case I'll go there Everyday, To make myself feel bad There's a chance
Refusal to the call
I'll start to wonder If this was the thing to do I won't be out long But I still think it better if You take your time Coming over here I think that's for the best Call, break it off Call, break my own heart Maybe I would have been Something you'd be good at Maybe you would have been Something I'd be good at But now We'll never know I won't be sad But in case I'll go there Everyday,
To make myself feel bad There's a chance I'll start to wonder If this was the thing to do I'll start to wonder If this was the thing to do
Explanation number 2nd for song choice "Call it off" is a song I added because, I had a crush who I liked and he liked me. He was one of my best friends but, I never said yes to every time he offered to ask me out. I never said yes mainly because we were in 3rd. So I told him when we are older. He also has a small crush on one of my other friends, which was odd. Furthermore in this community I was happy I had, friends, cool neighbors. But still nothing materially, in the eyes of my parents. I never notice, but my parents always did. The small apartment, unfaithful old car, bad teachers at my public school that I went with my brother. In the end I ended up moving away to a different school district and community called Coppell. My father had move up in his job position. I knew I should've been joyful but, in a way I was and wasn't. I was sad because, I knew I was probably never going to see him again or anyone else who I had meet. So now I wish that I had kept in touch with some of my old friends. On the last day of school, I left not even saying goodbye to anyone mainly because it would've been too sad to say goodbye to those friends who I grew up with and shared so many special memories with. And I knew never could have said goodbye to that boy either.
"But now, We'll never know, I won't be sad.", "I won't regret saying this, This thing, That I'm saying, Is it better than, keeping my mouth shut. ","There's a chance, I'll start to wonder If this was the thing to do""Call, break it off Call, break my own heart, Maybe I would have been, Something you'd be good at, Maybe you would have be good at, Something I'd be good at."So now I wonder if he fell for my friend because, I never kept in touch. I also wonder what my life would of looked now. If it would be slightly the same or completely different? Or if I should of even said goodbye to anyone. I was doubtful about the real outcomes of this change would of caused but I still went along and was brave.
Song number 2nd for song choice Bruce Springsteen -" Dancing in the Dark"
You can't start a fire
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEJ26h_cBqQ you can't start a fire without a spark Lyrics:
This gun's for hire
I get up in the evening
even if we're just dancing in the dark
and I ain't got nothing to say
Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Hey baby
I come home in the morning
You sit around getting older
I go to bed feeling the same way
there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I ain't nothing but tired
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
come on baby this laugh's on me
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help Stay on the streets of this town
Ordinary world
You can't start a fire
and they'll be carving you up alright
You can't start a fire without a spark
They say you gotta stay hungry
This gun's for hire
hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
even if we're just dancing in the dark
I'm dying for some action
Message keeps getting clearer
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face Man I ain't getting nowhere I'm just living in a dump like this There's something happening somewhere baby I just know that there is
I need a love reaction come on now baby gimme just one look You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart this gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart This gun's for hire
Explanation number 1st for song choice I choose this song because my parent love singers and artist from the 80's and ever since I can even remember my parents would blast out music from the 80's even still today. So I have basically grown up influenced by theses albums especially this one by Bruce Springfield. This song takes me back to memories when I was very small about 5 or 6 years old. And me and my father would would turn up the music on sunday mornings. Then I would step on his feet and he would teach me how to dance. And we would just be goofy and end up laughing like idiots on the floor. Furthermore, the lyrics in the song are self questioning and almost humbling while still self -questioning. "Man I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like this , there's something happening somewhere, baby I just know that there is.", "You can't start a fire without a spark." When the singer says these two quotes, I relate to the meanings, if you want to stop feeling a certain way you need start somewhere. "I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my clothes, my hair my face!" From this quote I can also relate, to wanting to change things and aspects of yourself, but now I know that I should accept myself more. So the main reason I choose this song was because, I would sometimes feel sad about anything and I would stay sad. What I have learned about life now, is to just forgive. Also to move on and honestly, to stop living in the past. This song would the part of my life as categorized as ordinary world. In my world no one always makes the right decisions. Or choices, or 100% satisfied with how they look.
Lyrics for my hopes and dreams Name: Youngblood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= Lyrics We're only young and naive still We require certain skill The mood it changes like the wind Hard to control when it begins The bittersweet between my teeth Trying to find the in-between Fall back in love eventually Yeah yeah yeah yeah Can't help myself but count the flaws Claw my way out through these walls One temporary escape Feel it start to permeate We lie beneath the stars at night Our hands gripping each other tight You keep my secrets hope to die Promises, swear them to the sky The bittersweet between my teeth Trying to find the in-between Fall back in love eventually Yeah yeah yeah yeah Can you whisper As it crumbles and breaks
Road back to the unknown/ ordinary world As you shiver Count up all your mistakes Pair of forgivers Let go before it's too late Can you whisper Can you whisper Can you whisper Can you whisper [ALISSA]The bittersweet between my teeth Trying to find the in-between Fall back in love eventually Yeah yeah yeah yeah [THOM] (Can you whisper)The bittersweet between my teeth [THOM] (Can you whisper)Trying to find the inbetween [THOM] (Can you whisper)Fall back in love eventually [THOM] (Can you whisper)Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ordeal
Name: "Carried away" Passion pit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiEwJTOderQ&list=PLjxO_okjWqobUMt0abukEKCWcYV3jcAe3 Lyrics: Since my heart is golden, I don't really know you I've got sense to hold in, And I don't think I want to, Tempted just to make an ugly scene. But I think I can fake it if you can. No, I'm not as proper. Let's agree, there's no need, no more talk of money, My money's in copper, Let's just keep pretending to be friends. Ripped down from the brownstones to the street Oh oh oh oh. Listen, I get carried away, carried away, from you I'm your friend, don't quote me, And I'm hoping and I'm praying, But not a friend worth noting. Cause I'm sorry, sorry 'bout that. Yes, please don't ever note me as your friend. Sorry 'bout things that I've said. Who says we have cold hearts? Always let it get to my head. Acting out our old parts, [X2] Let's perform my favorite little scene. Wake up in the morning, wake up in the evening, Oh oh oh oh. Wake up when you want to, I get carried away, carried away, from you 'Cause no one's really watching, And I'm hoping and I'm praying, Or else you'll have something to say about it. Cause I'm sorry, sorry 'bout that, But we all have problems, Sorry 'bout things that I've said. We're all having problems, Always let it get to my head. And we all got something to say. Oh, European, once again with feeling. I get carried away, carried away, from you, Higher education making sense? And I'm hoping and I'm praying, Justify your thesis, certain that you need this. 'Cause I'm sorry, sorry 'bout that. Tell me what your point is in defense. Sorry 'bout things that I've said. Listen, Always let it get to my head.
Reflection: Theme song This song explains many of the things that have happened in my life. I hold on too tight and do not like to be left alone. i also assume many thing like friendship and what the kindness of others means to and how little it means to other people. As Well as how promises mean , so much to mean and when broken I feel broken. I occasionally get carried away by other and in the moment. "Since my heart is golden,I've got sense to hold in," I do feel as my heart is golden I protect it because I don't want to get carried away with something that won't last like a relationship. If give my heart to someone, I know that they are worth it and will hold onto it tight. I also get can get carried away when I am excited or joyful about news. But I find this is normal and I am still very young and do not know very much but, I hope to become wiser as each year of my life passes and changes. And new memories and feeling are add into my heart. I may get carried away, but eventually I find myself again and bring myself back to earth once again.
From a biased past
Is that you have to live now
One filled with truth
To ever reach them
With lies, with alibis
In an instant, your future
by : Anonymous
Crossed with emotions
Can disappear
Future?
And actions
You're now becomes past
Such an interesting concept
This past turns into now
And nothing follows
Ideas and plans
A now riddled with uncertainty
This future
Already laid out in front of you
And decisions
Is only reached
But a future‌
Full of memories
By living through today
It's more than just an idea
And hopes, dreams
Through the memories
It's every possibility
Once now turns into then
Of futures passed
Every chance
That's when things turn grey
And the choices made tomorrow
For something altering to occur
Who knows
The future is far away
A future is neither bad
Which path you will choose?
A concept hard to grasp
Nor good
Which wine you will taste?
But we'll grasp the future yet
A future is neutral
Whose heart will break?
And live it to the last
Caring not of its effects
The one thing about futures
something changing
Poem
Such a future comes
Reasoning for Poem I enjoy reading this poem because it is humbling every time I read it. This poem really allows you to take a step back and be thankful for all the blessings, we all have in our lives. "Future?, Such an interesting concept, Ideas and plans, Already laid out in front of you, But a future‌, It's more than just an idea, It's every possibility, Every chance, For something altering to occur, A future is neither bad, Nor good, A future is neutral, Caring not of its effects, Such a future comes, From a biased past." This is part of the quote that I choose, that explains and leaves you speechless. Mainly because, I couldn't of said it better myself. You past does change you and can create sometimes create, these people. People that stay the same forever or make the wise choice of becoming something more.
Song written by me Crossing the threshold I won't let you fall I will stand by you and never give because of you I right from wrong and this isn’t it, just watch life has it ways of surprising you And don't forget me because I won't ever forget you Even if thing get hard I know right from wrong let me help just watch I might just surprise you

Free choice Song #1 Lyrics Call to adventure Name: "Golden Revolver" San Cisco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcDFe73ezLs Lyrics:
Take your blinkers off this time and maybe, Maybe you will find what you're looking for; is heavenly the sky Slow down and read the signs Cause you're going too fast and you're leaving us behind. So why would I try? When you're not even remotely, remotely kind? You can find love in the most extraordinary places Hiding away so no one can trace them You duck and weave through the maze of hatred, And found yourself something but you kept it all So why would I try? When you're not even remotely, remotely kind? You shot me with your golden revolver Before I could take mine out of the holster And you left me there lying on the ground, And you were nowhere, nowhere to be found.
So why would I try? When you're not even remotely, remotely kind? Ooooooooh! Ooooooooh! Oooooooo-oooooo-oooo-oooo-ooooh! Oooooooo-oooooo-oooo-oooo-ooooh! Oooooooo-oooooo-oooo-oooo-ooooh! Oooooooo-oooooo-oooo-oooo-ooooh!
Reasoning for free choice #1 I picked this song as my call to adventure because, I had a group of friends that thought loved me. Sadly I was wrong they talked behind my back lied to me. It was more work to be friends with them then with my actual friends that I stopped talking. That's was when I realized that I didn't want to be sad anymore and they weren't ever really my friends. Or deserved my love or time. They thought that if was to leave then I would be alone and not have any friends. In a way luckily one day during lunch I noticed them talking and whispering about me as I was approaching the lunch table. And when I sat down they weren't whispering anymore, they were saying all of these lie in from of me. That's when I decided to be brave and to leave them. It was for the best. I got up and looked them in the eyes and shook my head and said "you just lost a friend."And never talk to them every since. "Slow down and read the signs." I felt free, to not have to be with people that didn't make my life happy . It was hard but I moved to a different lunch table but I have made more friends real friends. That would do anything to help me and they actually apparate me. I am happy now because I know that I can change things and aspects of my life that need change. But they won't change unless you get up and do something. Like I did, I ended that horrible friendship, that shouldn't even be considered a true friendship compared to the ones I have now. "Slow down and read the signs." You need to address the problem in order to get out of it. Furthermore the lyrics "So why would I try?, When you're not even remotely, remotely kind?". I relate to this song because, I think to why waste my love if you're never going to be my friend or like me . And if you don't even deserve to be saying those unkind things to people including myself.
"You can find love in the most extraordinary places, Hiding away so no one can trace them." I did have friends that were waiting for me and willing to take a chance so that they could see me. And I made friends once I left those other group of girls who were unkind and unloving. Love was hiding I didn't realize it at first but it was there. This is my call to adventure because, I needed change I didn't want to remember or to look back and to think of how sad I was because of those "friends" that I had. I decided to not be controlled and pick my own friends ones that love me for me.
Free choice Song #2 Lyrics Resurrection Name:"Why are we so sad" Ok Sweetheart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh85n78W5JY&list=PLjxO_okjWqobUMt0abukEKCWcYV3jcAe3 Lyrics: You've got your vices I've got mine as long we stay in these lines I'm sure we'll be okay we may seem so complicated, feelings are so overrated let's get use to being numb Why are we so sad? Take a good look at all we have Why are we so sad? Take a good look at all we have At all we have, at all we have He got his "k" you've got your "ee" as long as we're left smiling what's the matter with that? let's live our lives plastic, elated so wild, and medicated counting down till the charade's all over Why are we so sad? Take a good look at all we have Why are we so sad take a good look at all we have at all we have, at all we have Tell me Why are we so sad? Take a good look at all we have how did we get so sad? Take a good look at all we have at all we have, all we have
Reasoning for free choice #2 "Why are we so sad?" Take a good look at all we have." This song has a lovely tune. Aswell a meaning to be apparate all of our, blessing that we are given. This song I would consider as part of the resurrection part because, at the end of the day we should glad for many things. And to be be humble in the end of the choices. That we make that can alter, aspects of our lives forever.
