This is my favourite song and the words are really amazing so I thought I should share it with you:

Home

I’m a phoenix in the water
A fish that’s learnt to fly
And i’ve always been a daughter
But feathers are meant for the sky
So I’m wishing, wishing further
For the excitement to arrive
It’s just I’d rather be causing the chaos
Than laying at the sharp end of this knife

With every small disaster
I’ll let the waters still
Take me away to some place real
'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone
where you go when you’re alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
It’s not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we’re together, does it matter where we go?
Home
Home

So when I’m ready to be bolder,
And my cuts have healed with time
Comfort will rest on my shoulder
And I’ll bury my future behind
I’ll always keep you with me
You’ll be always on my mind
But there’s a shining in the shadows
I’ll never know unless I try

With every small disaster
I’ll let the waters still
Take me away to some place real
'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone
Is where you go when you’re alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
It’s not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we’re together, does it matter where we go?
Home
(repeated)

'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone
where you go when you’re alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
It’s not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we’re together, does it matter where we go?
Home

It's easier to go down a mountain than up but the view is much nicer at the top. This is how I live my life as an intelligent teenager who's obsessed with British politics. On Opuss since 19/09/2012

Letting Go

Letting go…So much harder than it sounds. First a vision of a God on a throne, next a marriage. Crumbling identity Lost, alone on the edge of the abyss And then what is this.

Light ...dark.

Search all you may for the light in paradise.. While all the time pretending there is a hidden prize. Run run , run all you can, Chase behind the forgotten mist behind that summer van.

I Don't Know

I don't know what I want, so don't ask me. I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm just walking down this road, wondering where it goes. I'm not bitter. I'm not angry. I'm fine. Honestly.

Butterfly Flutter-by

This little butterfly is ready to be set free. To be the butterfly she ought to be. To see the things a butterfly ought to see. To explore the world and all it's glory.

Shape Shifting

I returned to the start on this four cornered square. Wondering why and how did I get back here. Surely it should be a circle as I look down the line.

True Colours Shine

I want to let my true colours shine, But I don't know how to. Where do I start, Let's just say I'm new. I hide behind my hair, Every single day of the year. I want to have confidence, Is there a cure.

Relieved

Me and my boyfriend broke up today. It's all good though. I'm actually relieved. I feel like I put too much effort into something that I knew wouldn't work. It wasn't worth it.

Hey Boots

#tittybiscuits. I'm just a tree standing in a forest of confusion. Big and strong and under no delusion. Knowing its time to break free my roots. Happiness comes courtesy of my special boots.
