To get an A in Shakespeare there is only 'One Direction' to go

Well this post has been a long time coming. 3 days, wow such a long time. I missed thee blog. Well if the title didn't give it away I have been doing my Shakespeare homework. I had the task of reading many sonnets and picking one to study and analyze. Then I was to write a sonnet based around my sonnet of choice. I choose 23 where the poet can't seem to say how he feels towards his love, so he writes it. I couldn't decided where to start so I thought to myself "Hey Ryan what interest you enough to spend 3 hours studying about to base a sonnet?" The answer came 'One Direction'. To get me inspired I listened to One Direction for a solid hour. (which is nothing new to me) After many readings of their lyrics I came to the conclusion that I could not write is solely on 1D lyrics so I went half 7 of the 14 lines are from their lyrics. I Shakespereized many of their lines. If you can figure out which lines are theirs and which are mine kudos to you.

I cannot hide this even though I try,
'Cause this love is only getting stronger.
E'en though I might seem like the quiet guy,
I may not stay silent any longer.

Of thee in my head I paint a picture.
I see thee every time I close my eyes.
Life without thee would be such a failure,
Though to thee our love might be a surprise.

Just can't help but feel like we belong,
E'en though my love for thee has gone unsaid.
To prove I'm right, I put it into a song
And I keep playin' it inside my head.

Mi Lady even if I wanted to
Some things just seem to good to be true.

I hope you liked it. I did.
I think 'Whale'iam Shakespeare is the best!
