Analysis of Chain Reaction
Noriah Griswold 2004 (Florida)
I'm sorry for the way I acted.
I know I took it too far.
But life is like a chain reaction.
And your actions left a scar.
So if our story had a caption.
It would read like a chip on a guitar.
We push the chip with our intention.
For it to meet each string with awe.
And for each string to feel attraction.
But instead each string is charred.
Therefore, we don't feel satisfaction.
And we jump in our car.
You see, it's all a chain reaction.
So I'm sorry, I took it too far.
