you held me down, but i got up

i use to bite my tongue and hold my breath
scared to rock the boat and make a mess
so i sat quietly, agreed politely
i guess that i forgot i had a choice
i let you push me past the breaking point
i stood for nothing, so i fell for everything

you held me down, but i got up
already brushing off the dust
you hear my voice, you hear that sound
like thunder, gonna shake the ground

you held me down, but i got up
get ready, cause i had enough
i see it all, i see it now

Roar - Katy Perry

Get up, take a stand!!!

memories....

as the year comes to a close
i try to recall the good and the bad of the year that just flew by
its hard for me to sort through everything that has happen
somethings bring heartache
somethings bring a smile

it seems we always say
i hope next year is better
and then something else happens
which brings me to accept that every year is going to have ups and downs
every year is going to be good and bad
it is how we live
day by day

i do have to be thankful for many things
and most of those things are my family
and my friends
without each one of them, the days would be hard to get through

i am thankful
and whatever 2014 has for me
bring it
i am ready

whatever you do, make a splash
m

i want you to live forever

Such an inspiration to me!!!

This little cupcake has spent most of her life in the hospital battling cancer
she took her first steps in the hospital

she has had 8 surgeries
14 rounds of chemo
and she still continues to smile

Lilly and her parents were living between the Los Angeles Childrens Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House
They lost everything to fight for their LILLY!!! Their jobs, home, belongings, pets....everything
Today this little cupcake is cancer free

she went for an MRI on Friday and are waiting for the results now
there was a mass close to her heart, and they are waiting for the results to see what this mass is

HOPE
we are all hoping its nothing........

a good case of the BLAHSSSSS

so today is one of those days
not really sure what is going on
i havent been feeling well for a the last week, and now i am just blah
i dont think this weather is helping much either
its rainy, cold
misty, foggy and warm
the weather here in Louisiana can NOT make up its mind
yuck...pretty....yuck...pretty
thats normal here
we should be use to it
but....doesnt mean i have to like it

i need to get out and get my shopping done

Christmas will be here before we know it

Karma, she is a bitch

but oh how sweet it is
=)

I just love a good karma "gotcha" moment

and this is why I don't try to hard to get back at people
instead I forgive
and let it go
it makes me feel better
and eventually that person will pay
might be months, might be years, but they will pay
i promise

i have seen it

so forgive
it brings peace
to your soul

The rusted signs, left just for me

Tidal waves don’t beg forgiveness
'CRASHED' and on their way
Father he enjoyed collisions; others walked away
A snowflake falls in may

And the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out
Nature has its own religion; gospel of the land
Father ruled by long division, young men they pretend
Old men comprehend

And the 'CLOUDS BREAK' at dawn; shedding light upon this town
They’ll all come ‘round

And the road 
The old man paved
The broken seams along the way
The rusted signs, left just for me
He was guiding me, love, his own way
Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down 
I feel that this is just goodbye for now

my father
in his own way
has shown me so much
how to love, how to let go and how to be happy
others might disagree
but I am well aware of his ways
and what he intended to teach me
I resisted in a lot of ways
but as I grow, I know, exactly what he was trying to say

I love you daddy,
Mich

come back

If I keep holding out
will the light shine through?
Under this broken roof
it's only rain that I feel
I've been waiting out the days
Come Back.

I have been planning out
All that I'd say to you
Since you slipped away
Know that I still remain true
I've been wishing out the days

Please say, that if you hadn't of gone now
I wouldn't have lost you another way
From wherever you are
Come Back.

And these days, they linger on
And I'm the night, as I'm waiting on
The real possibility I may meet you in my dream
I go to sleep

If I don't fall apart
will the memories stay clear
So you had to go
and I had to remain here



But the strangest thing to date
So far away
And yet you feel so close
And I'm not gonna question it any other way

There must be an open door
For you to
Come Back

And the days, they linger on
And every night, what I'm waiting for
Is the real possibility I may meet you in my dream

And sometimes you're there
And you're talking back to me
Come the morning I could swear you're next to me

And it's okay.I'll be here
Come Back
