Blog City β Day 1289 - yesterday's prompt. Prompt: βA screaming song is good to know in case you need to scream.β -- Maurice Sendak What do you do when you feel like screaming? What kind of things make you want to scream? This was yesterday's prompt and I really liked it so I started the blog, but did not get a chance to finish it. So I will try again today. I decided to take this in as a form or theme... a theme that when challenged rises the hairs of my body and rumbles my soul. The theme is for woman to stand up for themselves... to fight against oppression and battle whatever tries to hold them back. Staying silent makes me want to scream... to scream for them... but I think these songs can do a much better job. The first song I chose has to do with fighting cancer, but I also find it is a way of taking back a life that has been 'dis-eased' by letting others have power over you... stepping up and taking charge of your own life takes courage and this song speaks to that. This is my fight song - Song is by Rachel Platten Lyrics - only some of the lyrics are posted here. 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 Brave by Sara Bareilles The theme is be who you are and stop letting others take your power. Don't give it away. Embrace it and scream if you need to.... you deserve to be heard. You are enough, just as you are. Be brave! |
Blog City - Day 1267 Prompt: What is beauty to you? How would you describe beauty? Beauty runs deep. It is not just surface, which can blind others to true depths Looks, even lovely looks, can bind Hold one back And even deceive. True beauty defies time and flows from the heart It is goodness and compassion It is loving and acceptance It is unbiased and does not even realize the beauty it holds It just is. Like a mountain; it can stand the test of time Like a lake; it can refresh and revitalize Like a meadow; it can bring peace and calmness Beauty is a well lived life It is life lived in the present Heartfelt and alive But it is also beyond the here and now Enduring and lasting Beauty Just Is. |
