Day 26: Name a song that makes you cry every time you hear it and why

Happiness is a form of courage...Alright so, music is something I'm very much in love with because it's words put to metered rhythm. That in itself just sounds romantic, doesn't it?

Songs have a very simple way of saying exactly what we ourselves sometimes cannot which is why a lot of the world has a huge admiration for singers and songwriters because it takes a very skilled artist to be a songwriter and even more so, a singer.

There is a good amount of songs that make me feel some type of way or emotionally moved.

Some of these songs are:

1. Stay by Hurts
2. Summertime Sadness by Lana Del Ray
3. Flattery by Aly and AJ
4. Skyscraper by Demi Lovato
5. The Words I Would Say by Sidewalk Prophets
6. Someone Like You by Adele
7. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
8. Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus
9. Dark Paradise by Lana Del Ray
10. Somebody's Heartbreak by Hunter Hayes

There are a thousand more songs that I cannot list because it would literally take me forever to list them all but you get the idea...

The song that makes me cry every time I hear it is definitely Warrior by Demi Lovato.

This song, which I will show you the lyrics to in a second, is a very deep, heartfelt song written by Demi about some of the battles she's faced and why.

A lot of the battles she's faced are battles I've faced as well. Not all exactly the same but similar in nature. For example, I've been abandoned. I also grew up with a dad who wasn't always around because he was trucking over the road for sometimes months at a time. My dad missed my high school graduation and that's something that lives with you and haunts you whether you like it or not. I may not always agree with everything my dad does or says but I still love him and he's still my biological father and I always want to know he is proud of me, whether I express it or not. Sometimes it feels as though I do everything I know to do and it still isn't enough for anyone but God. This is why I've now learned to live to please God but not people because living for people is basically living a lie.

Warrior

This is a story that I have never told
I gotta get this off my chest to let it go
I need to take back the light inside you stole
You're a criminal
And you steal like you're a pro

All the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I was broken and bruised

Now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again

Out of the ashes, I'm burning like a fire
You can save your apologies, you're nothing but a liar
I've got shame, I've got scars
That I will never show
I'm a survivor
In more ways than you know

Cause all the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I'm not broken or bruised

'Cause now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me

There's a part of me I can't get back
A little girl grew up too fast
All it took was once, I'll never be the same
Now I'm taking back my life today
Nothing left that you can say
Cause you were never gonna take the blame anyway

Now I'm a warrior
I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again

No oh, yeah, yeah

You can never hurt me again

For more of my deep emotional wounds and demons, be sure to be the first to buy One Last Breath when it hits bookstore shelves sometime very soon.

Love Times Infinity,
