XX Journal #2

Hush, just stop
There's nothing you can do or say, baby
I've had enough
I'm not your property

As from today, baby
You might think that
I won't make it on my own
But now I'm

Stronger than yesterday
Now it's nothing but my way
My loneliness ain't killing me no more
I am stronger

Than I ever thought
That I could be, baby
I used to go with the flow

Didn't really care 'bout me
You might think that
I can't take it but you're wrong
'Cause now I'm

Stronger than yesterday
Now it's nothing but my way
My loneliness ain't killing me no more
I am stronger

Here I go, on my own
I don't need nobody, better off alone
Here I go, on my own, now
I don't need nobody, not anybody

Now I am stronger than yesterday
Now it's nothing but my way
My loneliness ain't killing me no more
I am stronger
By Britney Spears

Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines, and Stronger by Britney Spears are similar in many different ways. One way is that they are both about ending a relationship. They both speak about becoming stronger because their relationships are ending for instance Spears says "Here I go, on my own; I don't need nobody, better off alone; Now I am stronger than yesterday; Now it's nothing but my way" and the poet of Tonight I can Write the Saddest Lines writes "What does it matter that my love could not keep her. The night is starry and she is not with me." He is expressing that he is over his relationship with this woman he is speaking about and that he is able to enjoy a starry night without her. In these two works the authors both use similar writing techniques. They both use simple phrases and images throughout their poems. But these images and lines are very effective even though they are very simplistic. They have a big impact using a lot of complicated words and phrases. They are both also speak about closure. In Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines he says "Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer and these the last verses that I write for her." in Britney Spears song she says "Now I am stronger than yesterday; Now it's nothing but my way; My loneliness ain't killing me no more; I am stronger." This is expressing that she is over him and this song is the closure to this past relationship she is singing about.
