Poetic Sounds-  Rhyming   Alliteration   Onomatopoeia

1. Do you ever feel, feel so a paper thin like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

2. Boom, boom, boom Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon It's always been inside of you, you, you

3. Boom, boom, boom

   4. Cause, baby, you're a firework

      As you shoot across the sky-y-y

   

    5. Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow

     And when it's time you'll know

Music Video  Lyrics Family Portrait-P!nk-Meaning -"That was from a poem that I wrote when I was 9 when my dad left. My mom cried for four days when she heard it. I've seen my dad cry three times and that was one of them; that was awful. And then my stepmom cried. She's so strong - she was an Army nurse in Vietnam, and I'd never seen her cry. That was a song I wrote for me, and I didn't realize how much it was going to hurt them." Even though Pink's parents got divorced when she was 9 years old and she wrote the original poem at the time, she didn't record the song until she was 21. "I tend to hold onto things," she says.
