Sorrow, sorrow why have you catch me so
Why have you left me in such a big hole
sorrow, sorrow when will you leave my soul
and let my heart breath so
There is nowhere to go
if you keep beating on my heart so
Sorrow, sorrow its time to go
and let your heart be with your soul

This poem is about a person reflecting on their personal feelings, and why they won't leave (line 3) to help them relax (line 4) and move on with whatever has passed through their life.
This is a ballad, because there is a specific rhyming scheme involved and because it has a specific rhythm.
In this poem, there are a lot of figurative elements. There are hyperboles (line 2 and 5), a metaphor (line 3), repetition (lines 1, 3 and 7) and finally personifications (lines 1, 4 and 6).
I chose this poem because, like the previous one, it is simple and it gives a lot of emotion given the subject matter. I love the figurative elements, and I really enjoy the emotion it gives out.
