From the Indiana University website I got this on plagiarism (
http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/wts/plagiarism.html) that it is using:
another person's idea, opinion, or theory;
any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings--any pieces of information--that are not common knowledge;
quotations of another person's actual spoken or written words; or
paraphrase of another person's spoken or written words.
without crediting them. I think your poetry fits that description. But just the fact that you say you are a fan of Metallica yet you rip off their material boggles my mind. I am a huge Metallica fan and I would never try to steal their lyrics. And finally I want to do a little comparison here with some samples.
from Nothing Will Matter by Raven
Raven: These words couldn't be much more from the heart
Metallica: Couldn't be much more from the heart
R: Everything is near, no matter how far
M: So close, no matter how far
R: I never opened myself up like this before
M: Never opened myself this way
R: All these words are not just what I say
M: All these words I don't just say
R: Trust I sought found in you
M: Trust I seek and I find in you
R: Everyday brings me something new
M: Everyday for us something new
That's about every other line.
from I Like You by Raven
Raven: The window rapidly burns
Metallica: Still the window burns
R: Our time slowly turns
M: Time so slowly turns
R: I never opened myself up this way
M: Never opened myself this way
R: All these words, I don't just say
M: All these words I don't just say
R: Trust I seek, I find in you
M: Trust I seek and I find in you
R: My mind's open for another view
M: Open mind for a different view
R: This can't be much more from the heart
M: Couldn't be much more from the heart
Not cool dude. Just give credit or rewrite them or something.
