Personal Words

The lyrics I chose for this project are The past
should stay dead by -Emarosa.

“For once. Lets leave the dreaming to someone else, Our time has slipped away, We're sinking faster, faster no more playGet ready for the catch, I'm at the next step, waiting for our year
And all at once it leaves you breathless, With next to nothing, but open hands.Reach out, hold on tight, I know it hurts but keep trying, And with your luck, This won't be over quickOut of the blue it strikes youWhat's left to catch but the fear of letting go?”

I decided to use these lyrics because I absolutely love Emarosa. I’ve seen them live three times. There music is very refreshing to me. This song is deep and it makes me think. This song has many lovely memories for me and I just love this song!

Social Issue "She'll Be Easy"


There’s a girl she looks a bit lost, slightly distant from everyone and everything. She’s right in the middle of the photo sitting almost clutching her body together. She has bruises on her arms and eye. There’s a white powder on her nose and hand. Framing her there’s multiple pictures like a dilated eye, lines of coke, and just coke spilled out. Then across her body in bold red and white letters says, “She’ll be easy”.

In this photo there’s a battered, bruised, little girl. She’s uses the coke for her escape. She’s looking lost and its not the first time. She’s so weak she’ll be easy. Easier to get the drugs, to abuse, to get sex est. I had the cocaine around the picture so people would associate the picture with drugs and not other things. I wanted people see what some drugs can do to to you. I’ve seen many people change for the worst. This is part of my daily life.
