In this essay, I am going to analyze and compare the following poems, " I Wanna Be Yours" by John Cooper Clarke and "Fight Song" By Rachel Platten. Although they both cover different topics, they are both effective. "I Wanna Be Yours" talks about the strong feelings towards the poets loved one whereas "Fight Song" talks about never giving up no matter how low, lost or hurt you feel.

Again, this isn't as effective as "Fight Song" because it just shows how much he loves her and doesn't give the readers different emotions which will result in them getting bored quickly and disliking the
