Argument:
Lines 1-2: He is mourning his downfall and misfortune.
Lines 3-4: Nobody is listening to his pain. He is alone
Lines 5-7: He is hopelessly wishing to be like other people, anyone
else.
Lines 8-9: He finally recognize what he wants most in life aren’t the
same things he working toward
Lines 10-12: He comes to the realization that even from the darkest
corners there is always a silver lining
Lines 13-14: Remembering a lost love he becomes determined to
change his fate.
Structure:
For the most part lines are generally the same length.
Last two lines indented??
The last two lines are when he makes a firm decision to change
his direction and make life work for him. Off setting the lines
emphasized their importance.
You:
If I’m correct in my interpretation I would say that strive to live my life
by the new way of thinking. I want to push myself to get the things I
want and try not waste my time mourning things that cannot be
changed.
