Mike Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Wrote this in periods 7 and 8. enjoy “Clouded Reflection” Written by Mike Petrow Lying to a stranger I feel no remorse No regret throws my mind off course No one else to guide me I am my own light Look for a star to guide me tonight Cause with parents from 1053 Who don’t like rap or try to rap like me Im the dead branch on my family tree Im an army of one being all I can be Inherited my open mind from father and mother Expressing myself helps me uncover Myself and my inner poet They can accept my rap so don’t show it So I stand alone, with no other support Frie4nds telling me that I should abort Now music is my only friend Helps me deal with things I can’t comprehend Lessons and stories help me open my eyes My life’s good is what I realized Times pass, and fogged glass Distorted image of what I really am Expendable skill with a future unplanned (Chorus) With a clouded reflection I can’t see who I am Shapeless thoughts like saturated sand And if the mirror clears and I see my face Ill finally be able to fill up the space Leave me be, I need alone time Not to relax but a time to find Who’s instead me, dream who’s beside me A talents a seed, and it grows into skill And to pursue all that is a power of will Some aren’t as strong as others I see myself as just another With high hopes and star dreams All against one that’s what it seems I wipe away some fog; I think I have a chance Talking about the world at a glance If a picture speaks a thousand words Open your eyes and think of all you’ve heard That’s a million words plus without a doubt (Chrous) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfuqua23 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Im the dead branch on my family tree Im an army of one being all I can be - I liked the way this sounded when I said it. Now music is my only friend Helps me deal with things I can’t comprehend - I feel that way too sometimes. Nice set of lines. "If a picture speaks a thousand words Open your eyes and think of all you’ve heard That’s a million words plus without a doubt" - that is an amazing ending. Especially with the title of the song. Nice quick song for you to do in school, and it had meaning. Very good job. Of course quickness isn't everything. I'm sure you know that.
