1. Congratulations, I Hate You. Alesana no one ever said that life was fair and I'm not saying that it should be so knowing that you are what you want to be and I'm not comes as no surprise but don't expect me to be happy for you and don't smile at me and tell me things will work out for me too I don't want your pity...I hate your pity taste your vanity and its sweet bitterness as you hide behind your veil of my stolen hopes and lost dreams...you took them all... I watched you steal my thoughts and had to see you smile as you build your dreams on my shattered hopes I'll look back on a day once loved and fantasize for tragedy beg me to make this easier and listen to my hopeless cries suffer alone in emptiness I lust to see you swallowed by the mess that you left in your wake disgust lies deep within your empty gaze... beg me to make this easier and listen as my hopeless cries send stares into your meaningless eyes my envy can't describe how I loathe you for having all the stars leaving my eyes to marvel the sky knowing it should be mine yet it's you I see wasting the dream that only I deserve I'll tear off your face to see your smile. as you build your dreams on my shattered hopes I'll look back on a day once loved and fantasize for tragedy beg me to make this easier and listen as my hopeless cries send stares into your meaningless eyes

2. Theme/Meaning The theme/meaning is that not everything goes your way, someone will get what you want and you’ll just Have to deal with that. No matter how hard you try it’s not going to change what’s happened. That Sometimes people will do things that hurt you, and that you can’t do anything about it, what’s done is Done.

3. Critique I like this song because it is by my favorite band, and it explains a lot of things that people go threw, it’s saying that not everything will go the way you want it to, and people just have to come to that realization. I chose this song because it was the song I was currently listening to, and I don’t know any poetry. 1.What is the theme of the poem? 2.Is there any metaphors in the first stanza? 3.Who/Is there a main character? 4.How many stanza’s are there? 5.What is this song trying to tell you?
