American I will call down the fire, and then the rain.
Faithful You have been, And faithful You will be.

I asked for the moon, He gave me the sun. I wanted a kiss, and I tasted the galaxies in her lips. I asked her for love, and she gave me her heart.

She looks at me not with love, but with hate. . .

You see, that's the thing about life. All of a sudden it kind of just cuts off mid sen–

You see, I get it. I get it when people say, "there's nothing too big that you can't handle," or, "God will never put you through anything you can't handle", or, "There's no obstacle too big. . ." yada yada ******** I get it. I get that it serves as a reminder to us that no matter what we face in life, we are already strong enough to overcome it. It's true. I totally get it. But that's ******** Everything about those sayings and statements is ******** I want people to look at my life—I want people to look at what I've gone through and say, "How the **** did he do that??" I want to look at my life, And say, "How the **** did I do that??" I want to be able to say that life had me cornered, but I fought my way through. I want to be able to say that life had me backed up, but I pushed back harder. I want to be able to say that life knocked me down, but I got back up again, again, and again. I want to be able to say that I conquered my mountains, I conquered my Goliath's, I conquered the very thing that I thought I was incapable of and unqualified of conquering. I want to be able to say that I got through things that were BIGGER than me. And I want to be able to say that life was pressing me, But I got stronger. I got better, And I got smarter. I want to be able to say that life dragged me to my breaking point, But I pushed it to the next level—beyond my limits. I don't want to say "nothing is too big" Because to me that basically says that nothing I face is worthy of something— That nothing I face will make me stronger, Will make me better, and shape me into the person I am today. Character is forged through the fire of life. And we can only see what we are made of when we take on a life that is bigger than ourselves.

Scars
And from the dirt, Man was formed. And from the mouth of God Breathed life to give life. Of all the things God created You and I Took his breath away.

I do not have the body of David. Sculpted and chiseled from the hands of an artist. I do not claim to have eyes that were kissed by Aphrodite herself. My skin does not glow under the scorching sun. The world does not flock to me, and not a lot of people are quite fond of me. I am not what you wanted and what you asked for. But this is life, and in this life, we shouldn't ask for more.

And out from her mouth Came the kind of song That connected the heavens and earth, The mountains and sky, And space to eternity. Her love didn't make sense, But it was perfect. The kind of perfect that left you breathless After a good hard **** The kind of perfect that left you gasping for air After the world has tried to drown you And all the stars were cheering you on. Poetry, and rainbows Are not suppose to make sense But if you look at it From a different perspective Then maybe, Maybe it will.
