D. Paraphrase (6 marks)
My 9 to 5 is alright
But my dream job's kinda like a curse
I look back upon my hard times
And relive them in each verse

I'm recounting, and its astounding

All the things that made me hurt
It's not easy being me
Putting memories to words

Memories of how I felt when she left me

Memories of those that I've lost
The cost is high they live and die
In each one of my works
It's not easy being me
Putting memories to words
