Shane
Koyczan “Shoulders”
In his poem Shoulders by Shane Koyczan tells the story about how our world is
the only one we have and that we shouldn’t take it for granted, “the world is
not a punishment but it is a responsibility,” which means that we are not here
just cause but we are responsible for our own life, our own world. This poem
says that we have to take care of our little blue dot in the big black sky. The
theme in this poem is knowledge and change for change. This poem describes the
world as “turning the impossible into somehow” making a change so we can keep
our home clean, safe and how we shouldn’t take out world for granted.

Koyczan “shut up and say something”
Shut up and say something Shane
Koyczan is about you should never
hold back what you want to say, and that everyone fails and everyone is scared
in some way, you should never bite your tongue if you have something to say,
you should never be sorry for speaking your mind. The theme of this is no
regrets or sorry. The poem tells you that everyone has some sort of fear of
saying what’s really on their mind so much is never said and a lot of regret. “Walked
to the coffee shop to ask out this girl and all I could think is, shut up and
say something,” this part of the poem speaks out to me because some many times I’ve
wanted to say something or don’t say anything at all so all someone can think
is “just say something”.
