There's some wicked people I go to school with who wanted to create a community where we could all post fiction and poetry and stuff that we writers were working on so Nick created <a href="http://penandpaperaddicts.blogspot.com/">http://penandpaperaddicts.blogspot.com/</a> - apptly named.<br /><br />So I needed to get one of these to join<br /><br />Maybe I'll actually start blogging<br /><br />...<br /><br />or not lol<br /><br />but maybe<br /><br />sure<br /><br />whatever<br /><br />anywhooo<br /><br /><br />Inspiration!!<br /><br />Kimya Dawson - Fire lyrics::<br />It seemed like everyone I knew was dying<br />I looked in the mirror and I was on fire<br />Somebody yelled out "Hey, stop, drop and roll"<br />I said, "That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul.<br />That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul."<br /><br />You swallow hard and you bottle it up<br />Try to pretend you're a half full cup<br />Believe what they're feeding, you're eating it up<br />While I'm reading books about how they're corrupt<br />I'm reading books about how they're corrupt<br /><br />He says he's protecting us but he's a liar<br />I know deep down that it's down to the wire<br />My heart will stop if I put out this fire<br />As long as I'm burning<br />I'll keep on yearning<br />To save the world<br />Not sure how but I'm learning<br /><br />Since what they call the beginning of man<br />Blood has been shed for the rape of the land<br />They called it civilized, I call it crap<br />Our only hope is to look further back<br />Our only hope is to look further back<br /><br />If we really want for this world to survive<br />We'll just take what we need to survive<br />It's a mistake to just take and not give<br />It's not true that we must murder to live<br />It's not true that we must murder to live<br /><br />He says he's protecting us but he's a liar<br />I know deep down that it's down to the wire<br />My heart will stop if I put out this fire<br />As long as I'm burning<br />I'll keep on yearning<br />To save the world<br />Not sure how but I'm learning<br /><br />And telling the truth the best way I'm able<br />Placing my cards all face up on the table<br />It's okay to be scared, you don't hafta act tough<br />Take all that pain and turn it into love<br />Take all that pain and turn it into love<br /><br />And let your emotions be fuel to your flames<br />Being on fire will keep you awake<br />If someone yells out, "hey! Stop, drop and roll!"<br />Say, "that might save my skin, but it won't save my soul.<br />That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul."<br /><br />~<br /><br />I'm just a girl<br />Trying to change the world<br />That's all you really need to know<br /><3<br /><br />Sempre,<br />Kelly Davis<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7910539791135222414-4342814150014475488?l=fueltotheflames.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kelly Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09005246775143358094noreply@blogger.com0
