Challenge
Choose a line/verse of a song that you think sounds like a piece of poetry, and explain why.
Andy Grammer- Wish You Pain
"I hope your doubts come like monsters
And terrorize your dreams
I hope you feel the lonely hopelessness
'Cause no one else believes
I hope you question whether you
Ever really had a chance at all."
Besides the rhyme and meter, the concept of wishing someone pain because it's the only way to learn and grow is a poetic, philosophical message. I think the heart of poetry is messages like that embedded in deliberately structured language.
I also just really love this song.
