These are the reasons why I chose the song “I’m Not Afraid” by Eminem. When I read the first section and it means to me is that when we struggle and need to remember that we’re not on our own. Others might look at someone else and think how perfected that the person is, but we struggle to know the truth. The person that you are looking at might be perfected, but they might also be struggling as well. We don’t know that other people struggle in different ways and don’t always show the struggling.

The second section tells me for someone to know how the other person really feels, then you must put yourself in their place and see them there. When you put yourself in their shoes and see how they are struggling and what happens to them. When you really see the struggle, you can give them a hand and show them that they are not alone, and everyone struggles in life and you are not the only one hurting.

Section three is even though the others might know you by only the way you act, but they don’t know the whole you. You have the choice to change the way you live your life, and you can take control what you do. In our life we have decisions to make and choses to do.

The fourth section is saying that we should not take any more of the lying, and to start telling the truth or someone might catch you and reinterpret what you said to bring you down.

In the fifth section when he says “demons” he says this to mean the people that bring you down refers to demons. He also uses “gloomy black cloud” in order to show that you have been struggling every day. When I think of the word “demons” it means that they are going to try to draw out your fears and you don’t know how to handle it.

Section six is saying that when you are done with everything, now you can take charge of your life. It is time to do something new, and no one is going to hurt you and more. When I said “when you are done with everything” this means that all the problems you have been through and all the stress now you are related. “now you can take charge of your life” this means that you know how to fix the problems that have gone on in your life and nothing is going to stop you.
In the seventh section he says that even though we clean our self, we still have people who are going to put us down. We have the chose to not listen and see the cleanness of the world. Or we can listen to the people that are dragging us down and be afraid to show who we really are and be blinded by the people who are dragging us down.

I chose the song “I’m not afraid “by Eminem. I chose this song because I feel in my life that people could bring me down, but I made the chose to not listen and push myself, so I can be the best of me. I could have listened to those who hurt me in my life, but then how could I not be the person I am today and is known by others as a helping hand and courageous.
