Battle Cry

"All of my fears, and all of my doubts are lacing their boots and grabbing their guns, the war is on now."

Battle Cry

One of the toughest battles one will have to fight is the one within themselves. It's a battle hard to describe because everyone experiences their own type of battles in their own way. Some come out winning these battles and others continue losing them, the question is how long can one keep going?

"Battle Cry" is not just the name of this article, but the name of a song from the hit show Empire.

"Battle Cry" is another world within itself. It's not another love song, but a song that talks about real issues within yourself. This is the type of song that you have to read in between the lines in order to understand where it's coming from.

Life is an everyday struggle, not knowing whether you'll rise the next day or not is a scary feeling. In this day and age, life is not so much about going on with your daily lives, but so much more than that, especially when you see someone's inside their head instead of outside. Fear is inside people's brains. There are many things that give us fear, but what if this type of fear doesn't go away? When you go to sleep you have that fear stuck inside your head day and night, you wake up and still have that same fear stuck inside yourself. Then doubt takes over love and it leaves you paralyzed. Not being able to enjoy the most beautiful things in your life, always wondering when it'll all be over or questioning whether it's all real. Deep inside you feel that there is no escape to all this madness and want to just explode and release something. In a battle within yourself, it feels as if you may end up losing the things most precious to you. You find out there what was fake and what was real.

"I will never lose this let whatever come my way, I am stronger than my rival and I will not fall today."

Such motivating words those are, words to draw strength from and words to defeat your inner self, right? For some those words means a lot and can change their entire battle strategy and some become victorious. For others they are just words hitting a brick wall with no effect whatsoever. To understand people with losing battles, you have go in deeper and search.

The war is on now, but the real question is can you end up winning or end up losing yourself?

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
