Broken Wings.

This song Broken Wings by Alter Bridge was the inspiration for the title of my blog, inspiration for me. It is an amazing song with a good meaning to it. It is just the right song to expresses my feelings too.


Fight the fight alone,
When the world is full of victims,
Dims a fading light.
In our souls.

Leave the peace alone,
Now we all are slowly changing,
Dims a fading light, 
In our souls.

In my opinion seeing is to know.
The things we hold,
Are always first to go.
And who's to say,
We won't end up alone.
 
On broken wings I'm falling, 
And it won't be long.
The skin on me is burning, 
By the fires of the sun.
On skinned knees,
I'm bleeding.
And it won't be long.
I've got to find that meaning, 
And I'll search for so long.

Cry ourselves to sleep,
We will sleep alone forever.
Will you lay me down,
In the same place with all I love.

Mend the broken homes,
Care for them they are our brothers.
Save the fading light in our souls.

In my opinion seeing is to know.
What you give,
Will always carry you.
And who's to say, 
We won't survive it too.

On broken wings I'm falling, 
And it won't be long.
The skin on me is burning,
By the fires of the sun.
On skinned knees,
I'm bleeding.
And it won't be long.
I've got to find that meaning, 
And I'll search for so long.

Set a-free all,
Relying on their will,
To make me all that I am, 
And all I'll be.

Set a-free all,
Will fall between the cracks,
With memories of all that I am,
And all I'll be.

On broken wings I'm falling, 
And it won't be long.
The skin on me is burning, 
By the fires of the sun.
On skinned knees,
I'm bleeding.
And it won't be long.
I've got to find that meaning, 
And I'll search for so long.

Confessions Of A Size Zero.

The furor about being size zero shows no signs of dying down. How can such a small number cause such big problems? For someone of this size, I would be lying if I said that I'm completely happy with the way my body looks. It is both wrong and unfair to promote the image that skinny is beautiful. It is not right to make young girls believe that being a size zero is the key to happiness. I have to admit that many a times I have wished that I had a healthier looking figure. Being naturally very slim comes with it's disadvantages. I have had many experiences of being discriminated on the basis of my body. New people, who I meet in my life, look at me and say, "Are you Anorexic?" Anorexia is an eating disorder, referring exclusively to women, in which women and mainly young girls starve themselves in order to become skinny. People who know me are often amazed at my full diet and constantly ask me, "If you eat so much then why don't you put on any weight?" My weight has been pretty much the same for many months now. It has become the status quo and I'm considered frail and not taken seriously, things have been that way for a long time now, and I'm only sixteen. I never really understood the obsession people have with small waistlines and petite frames. Are we making the ideals of beauty confined to such a narrow thinking? Every time I look in the mirror, I see a clearly visible collarbone, all the ribs and the pelvic bone sticking out. People become size zero to see themselves become all skin and bones? Is it really worth it? It doesn't make me feel that good. If you look healthy, you feel healthy and happy. The media and the celebrities also promote size zero as the latest fashion statement. The fact is that as long as there is media promoting the size zero craze there will always be young girls starving themselves, becoming anorexic or bulimic, in a desperate attempt to fit in. Being size zero is very different from buying from the latest Couture collection, it has a deep impact on your health and lifestyle. Each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on it's own terms. 

A Battle.

There are words that have yet to be spoken
The things I need to say.
To voice what's within my heart
I just can't find a way.

I've fought with my emotions
I've held them deep inside.
I didn't want to face it for so long
Things I've tried to hide.

I've been lost within the dark
For so long I've seen no light.
Holding on to the memory
Of a time when things were right.

They've looked upon my face
Seen the sadness in my eyes.
The battle from this evil
That I can no longer disguise.

I've prayed to find the answers
Of what I must do.
I've prayed for the strength to fight
This hell that I go through.

I've held on for so long
And now I feel tired.
I need to let this go
And Lord knows how I've tried.

It's hard to watch the ones you love
Feel that you've gone astray.
That's why I overcame the evil
That was inside me till yesterday.
