Poem XX

When thinking about songs that have the same what as the poem I thought of "When you see my face" by the all American regents. The song focuses on a guy who is trying to get over the loss of a girl. He even contradicts himself like the man in the poem by saying "Truth be told I miss you, but truth be told I'm lying" this show indecision in the person singing the song just like the man in the poem. Both characters deal with the event differently in that in the poem the man feels sad and alone while in the song the man lashes out in anger to cover up his grief. Both these are classic examples of human behavior in this type of situation and make both the poem and the song successful at delivering a message to the listener or reader
