In this post, I go share how I relate to Demi Lovato’s song “Warrior” on a personal level in my own life, explaining it in my very own poem.
Here are some of the lyrics from Demi Lovato’s song:
This is a story that I have never told
I gotta get this off my chest to let it go
I need to take back the light inside you stole
You're a criminal
And you steal like you're a pro
All the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I was broken and bruised
Now I'm a warrior.
Now I've got thicker skin.
Here is my poem, inspired by my own experience and Demi Lovato’s:
This is a story that I have never told
I have to get this off my chest so I can let it go.
This year has stole my soul.
I have seemed to run out of coal and
it just makes my sheets very cold.
I am taking back the joy this year stole,
fighting back and burning that coal again and
not staying stuck in the depth of sin,
it used to feel like fire on my skin and now I can finally breathe again.
I will no longer turn my tears into sadness,
but into gladness and passion,
though I have experienced a hell of a lot of clashing,
I will no longer be matching that fashion
and I will no longer have to deal with the bassion
or all the tears from the people slashin.
I am taking back my passion,
no more clashing and no more body smashing.
I am now taking a warm shower,
instead of bathing in the cold power.
I am taking back the right of power instead of being a coldstone coward.
I will be someone that is empowered!
