James Bay's Let It Go

328 Words2 Pages
“Let it Go” by James Bay symbolically represents my experience with bullying in high school. This poignant, little-known song differs from the popular song that shares the same title made famous in a Disney movie. James Bay’s version relates to my unpleasant experience which was not as severe as others, but notwithstanding less than ideal. The persistent, negative treatment by my former friends caused me to resent those involved due to the fact that I felt less than adequate and worthless. I subconsciously morphed myself into a different person. Ultimately, they “broke” (line 13) me. The following lyrics descriptively portray the situation more adequately than I can: “I used to recognize myself / It’s funny how reflections change” (21-22).
