Congratulations to all who participated this month! I think this was our biggest turn out yet. If I counted right, there were 155 poems and stories written this month, and that doesn’t include any of mine. So… well done all of you! Our top three participants were; Night Owl Poetry, Ramblings of a Writer, and Cosistories. And if you haven’t visited their blogs yet, please do. They have some great stories and poems that you won’t want to miss! 😉
Not too long ago, my best friend asked me what my go to song was, and I’ve had to give it some thought because I’ve never really had one. But after giving it some thought and listening to quite a few songs today, I decided to pick one for the days when I need a “go to” song. So here it is, the one I finally decided on. There’s so much I’ve gone through in my life and I’m sure there’s a lot more to come, but I know I can’t give up. Which makes this the perfect choice for me. Enjoy! 😉
“Fight Song”
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn’t say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I’m alright song
My power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong
I’ll play my fight song
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes
‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
Losing friends and I’m chasing sleep
Everybody’s worried about me
In too deep
Say I’m in too deep (in too deep)
And it’s been two years
I miss my home
But there’s a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe
And all those things I didn’t say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I’m alright song
My power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong
I’ll play my fight song
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes
‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
A lot of fight left in me
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
This is my fight song (Hey!)
Take back my life song (Hey!)
Prove I’m alright song (Hey!)
My power’s turned on
Starting right now I’ll be strong (I’ll be strong)
I’ll play my fight song
And I don’t really care if nobody else believes
‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me
“Never forget that love and friendship go hand and hand. So don’t be afraid to tell your friends you love them. After all, it could be the only time they ever get to hear those heartfelt words.” ~M
