<Don't Let Me Get Me by Pink>
<Reason>
The reason I chose this particular song, “Don’t let me get me” by Pink, is that the lyrics of this song is inspiring and I can closely relate to this song. This song talks about personal doubts and overcoming the struggles by yourself. Everyone has his or her own goals, but achieving those goals is arduous and gives them a lot of stress. Due to many struggles and stress, they let themselves down and do not believe in themselves; all they do is blame themselves and suffer from paranoia. Moreover, other people and the world around them keep putting pressure and reshaping who they really are. In order to fit in a group and feel comfortable, I also tried to be like my friends. Especially the common phrase, “Doctor, doctor, won't you please prescribe me something?” portrays people depending on drugs or something that would help them to avoid conflict. Many people, including myself, try to cover their weaknesses and shift the responsibility of their own mistakes to others. This informs me to consider myself personally. Therefore, it enlightens me; instead of having personal doubts which, block my passion, for myself, the important element in life is having the confidence to achieve what I want and what I can achieve.
<Response Poem>
The Mountain
At the base of the mighty mountain
All people say that it is not possible
For me to climb that mountain.
And, I do not believe in myself too.
The first steps will be like
Steps of a fearful toddler.
As I start climbing,
I think I cannot go back and confront others,
But there will always be some
Moments where I want to give up the fight and retreat.
I will endure with constancy,
Having my goal firmly in mind.
I will continue upward, imagining
Being placed high above the world.
When the peak is in view,
I rejoice at my achievement.
I breathe in the fresh, crisp air,
As I smile and enjoy the view.
