I want to see
all minds set free.
Like slaves to their deaths,
they pledge their liberty.
Like awls through their ears
nailed to a post,
they sold their souls to the things they loved most.
Now they accuse,
my mind is closed,
I've stood in their shoes,
that's why I chose... Freedom

You've got words, clever jargon,
self-support, what a bargain.
You tell me my God is dead,
you hate a book you've never read.
Telling me that I'm pushing you
Who's world is this, who pushes who?
We've had to watch your television,
subject to your decisions
We've read your books,
and filled your schools,
You burned the truth
with hate for fuel.
You calculate your lack of reason.
I hate this place, call it treason.

Mind for Treason,
force-feeding lies,
but calling it freedom.
Masking the truth, to hide your dismay
turn a blind eye to the death and decay.
But I will rebel
it's treason I choose
you can die by yourself,
but I will refuse.

A word of truth to worlds of fiction
I'd like to challenge your depiction,
of your soul and your salvation
I'd like to shake you from stagnation.
You take the nail and drive it through
your ear to show allegiance to
your god the thing that you love most
yourself.
Am I coming close?
Blind to see your own extinction,
truth and lies have no distinction.
Shackled slaves must drop their chains
or slaves will serve themselves in vain.
["Mind for Treason" by Five Iron Frenzy]


Sick of circling the same road
Sick of bearing the guilt
So open the windows to cool off
And heat pours in instead

Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone

All my efforts to clean me
Leave me putrid and filthy
And how can you look at me
When I can't stand myself

I'm tired to be honest
I'm nobody

Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone

Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone

I tried to kill you
You tried to save me

You save me
You save me
You save me
You save me

Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone

Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone
["Perfect" by Flyleaf]


My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you

This fire rising through my being
Burning I'm not used to seeing you

I'm alive, I'm alive

I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing

My hands float up above me
And you whisper you love me
And I begin to fade
Into our secret place

The music makes me sway
The angels singing say we are alone with you
I am alone and they are too with you

And so I cry
The light is white
And I see you

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing

Take my hand
I give it to you
Now you owe me
All I am
You said you would never leave me
I believe you
I believe

I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healed
["All Around Me" by Flyleaf]

Sometimes life seems too quiet
Into paralyzing silence
Like the moonless dark
Meant to make me strong

Familiar breath of my old lies
Changed the color in my eyes
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me

Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl
That's smothering me
Sitting closer than my pain
He knew each tear before it came
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me

And we kiss each other one more time
And sing this lie that's halfway mine
The sword is slicing through the question
So I won't be fooled by his angel lie

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
And up into the stars

Joy will come
["Sorrow" by Flyleaf]

You try your hardest
to perfect your explanation
you lie until they've run out
of questions

You can only move as fast as
Who's in front of you
And if you assume
Just like them
What good will it do
So find out for yourself
So your ignorance
Will stop bleeding through

only wilt and fade
big enough to fill the void thats inside of you
its just a breath away

You can breathe today

So many lies swirling
All around you
You're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath
You're suffocating

Logic forces me to believe in this
And I have learned to see
And I can only say what I've seen and heard
And only you can choose
And every choice you make will effect you
Search your own self

You can breathe today

So many lies swirling
All around you
You're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath
You're suffocating


Big enough to fill the void that's inside of you
It's just a breath away

So many lies swirling
All around you
You're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath
You're suffocating

you can breathe today

Breathe today
["Breathe Today" by Flyleaf]




Play pretty for me:

My life consists:
Jesus, love, hope, smiles, laughter, inspiration, influence, and sharing everything I've learned.

She talks:
My name is Brittanie but people call me Bambi.
I have doe eyes. I love elephants.
I love God but don't label me Bible thumper.
Don't be too quick to judge me.
I defy the odds and I don't lose hope.
I'm going to touch the hearts of people
all around the world;
I'm going to impact the world.
I REFUSE to leave this world the same.

NOTICE:
I've had this account a long time.
This account is basically my life story.
It goes from 8th grade when I was lost
and looking for something bigger and even suicidal,
to where I am now with my strong faith
and my constant smiles.
I would never delete anything from here
because it's who I was and I'm not ashamed.
I've been saved for about a year and a half
and I'm not going back.
My old poetry is a reminder of how far I've come
and it's inspiration to find others who are like I was.


Let's just say:

Some people swim against the current; Other's
go with the flow like dead fish.-Shampa

Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.

There are 2 kinds of secrets; those we keep
from others, and those we hide from ourselves.-Frank Warren

It's never too late to start something new.

Dont be afraid of the shadows, it only means there is light nearby.
