Crazy

My found poem comes from the song “Kill You’ by Eminem. My thought process on creating this poem was to highlight all of the violence and aggression that is portrayed in the song. There is even a line about him raping his own mother. My goal for the poem was to make it about someone who is just very angry in society. Someone who is disrespectful and a selfish person who only cares for themselves. In particular, they are sexist and look down on women. As shown through the vast amount of words used to describe them. I was initially nervous when I was making this poem as there are so many derogatory terms, but I realized that is the whole point and purpose. My process on the poem was to go line by line focusing on what was most effective and graphic. I decided to use the black marker to cross out the words I did not want to focus on. I think doing that instead of cutting out what I wanted to focus on emphasizes the power and anger of the words I used even more.
