Eden's Fresh Horses Brigade - Who The Fuck Am I?

I am the party animal who can no longer party.

I am the writer who can no longer write.

I am the derby girl who can no longer skate.

I am the debator who can no longer argue.

I am the blogger who no longer blogs.

I am the motherless and fatherless daughter.

BUT

I am the mother who will mother until she draws her final breath.

This sums up a lot of who I am and how I think. At least for my firstborn.

So, who are you?

Fresh Horses - Words for Eden

Over at Edenland there is a new linky up and running (not new,new, but her new one for this week). The question or theme: Words. You are at a party, step up to the open mic. What would you choose, to read out at this fictional party?



For me this is the one. It is the song that makes me cry, it is the song I sing to my boys when they are troubled, it is the way I feel about motherhood as my heart bursts with the love I have for my children.

Sometime, someday, somewhere... they will "Crash and Burn". And on that day I will be there, I wil catch them and hold them tight within my arms and heart until those bruises heal and their souls are complete and strong once more.

Crash & Burn

~Savage Garden~



When you feel all alone

And the world has turned its back on you

Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart

I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you

It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold

When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

 

Let me be the one you call

If you jump I'll break your fall

Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

If you need to fall apart

I can mend a broken heart

If you need to crash then crash and burn

You're not alone

When you feel all alone

And a loyal friend is hard to find

You're caught in a one way street

With the monsters in your head

When hopes and dreams are far away and

You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call

If you jump I'll break your fall

Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

If you need to fall apart

I can mend a broken heart

If you need to crash then crash and burn

You're not alone

'Cause there has always been heartache and pain

And when it's over you'll breathe again

You'll breath again

When you feel all alone

And the world has turned its back on you

Give me a moment please

To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call

If you jump I'll break your fall

Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

If you need to fall apart

I can mend a broken heart

If you need to crash then crash and burn

You're not alone

Never, never alone whilst I have one last breath within this body.
