In the poem “Of the Same”, the poet and his lover both feels hurt. Rihanna and Ne-Yo’s song “Hate That I Love You” does a amazing job at illustrating the theme of the poem. Rihanna and Ne-Yo explains that they are both hurt by each other and they can not face each other. Ne-Yo and the poet both admit that their hearts are in fear and they will hurt their lovers.

In this song the hip hop artist , Kayne West, expresses himself as he state that he wants to be free. I chose this music video to represent the poem “The lover suspected blamath yll tonges” because Kayne express his feelings as the media and press are talking about him. In the song he explains how different people are talking about him and what they are saying. For example he says ” I miss the old Kayne. I use to love Kayne”, this all represent rumors same as the poem. Also, the poet state that when he dies and go to heaven, the gossiping will stop and in Kayne’s video he have angles all around him as he stands n the middle and feels empowered.

This song remind me of the poem “The lover being made thrall by love,  perciveth how great a losses is libertye”.  In the movie Diary of a Mad black women the main character gave up on love and just like the poet she feels that this is a temporally and in heaven she will be happy.  Her husband embarrassed and abused her in front of her family and she felt hopeless.
