You Fight

~ aheadfulofwords ~ 1 Comment

When things get you down, should you give in?
Should you accept that you’re not going to win?
No! You stand up and stare life in the face
You show it who’s boss and fight for your place
Your place in this world, wherever that may be
A life you deserve in which you’re happy
A life free from sadness; a life free from woe
A life that fulfils you wherever you go
One that’ll be remembered by many to come
One that’ll be treasured by all those you love
So pick up that chin and stop feeling blue
Stand up, be strong and go fight for you.

Here I am

So here I am, this is me
Sitting and waiting patiently
For what exactly? I’m not sure
Perhaps for someone to show me more
Or something big to come my way
To make my skies a little less grey
To make my life feel more worthwhile
To come along and make me smile
To believe in me and all my dreams
No matter how stupid they may seem
To show the way when life gets hard
To shine a light into the dark
The darkness that I seem to find
In every corner of my mind
The darkness that stops me in my tracks
That always has me looking back
That always scares me to the core
I don’t know what it’s looking for
And why it’s engulfing my mind so
Oh how I want to stop this ghost
The ghost that dances round my head
That fills my whole being with dread
That wakes me up in the night
That wraps me up and squeezes tight
That pushes me down and pulls me under
A pathetic life broken asunder
But until this darkness disappears
My eyes will always be full of tears
So I’ll sit and wait and pray and hope
That one day I’ll escape these ghosts
And that someone may come along
To sing to me a soft sweet song
That’ll drive away my demon days
And change all my destructive ways
And help me see through brand new eyes
That I can rid me of this guise
And I can live a life that’s free
From all this pain and misery
And I can be a brand new me
Who leads a life much less ugly
But to find the saviour that I seek
I must also look very deep
Deep within me, in my heart
Then I can make a brand new start
And I can hold my head up high
There’ll be no more tears left to cry
And I can make this darkness go
I’m the only one who can save me so.

I used to be strong

Going out of my mind over someone I barely know
Never did I realise this is the way my life would go
I was always such a strong girl, in my heart and in my head
But nowadays I analyse every little word that’s said
I’m not sure when the tables turned; when I became so weak
Or when I decided that validation is what I needed to seek
But for some unknown reason, I’m a shadow of my former self
I’ve taken myself out the running, put myself upon a shelf
Yet nobody is going to respect me or believe a word I say
If I don’t stand up and be counted; if I don’t walk my own way
So I think the time has finally come to regain the strength I had
To start feeling proud of myself, to stop feeling so sad
To stop this endless battle, to believe in what I think
To put myself at number one; always trust my gut instinct
To not let anybody bring me down or make me feel so low
To point my body, head and heart in the way I want to go
And not let anybody hold me back or make me lose my mind
To finally have faith in me. That old strength I need to find.
