take these broken wings and learn to fly.

so i'm listening to an unbelievably beautiful song. 
it's by the beatles, but the cover by evan rachel wood from across the universe is amazing. 
it's mostly about hope. i've been thinking about hope a lot lately and i've had more lately too. 
lyrics :
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life 
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.


i love that whole paragraph that i bolded. and like the blackbird i have waited so long to be free, to be myself, to be who i really am. for so long others have had power over me. 
you've gotta let go. you've gotta be you. and your moment is coming. 
it doesn't happen instantly though; you have to take your broken wings and learn to fly, your sunken eyes and learn to see. it's a process. and when people events or life in general tells you you can't do it, you're done, say :

love it and its true.
i think me and you have defenitely done this, we've taken our messed up lives and had hope and got better. and even with this current situation at school, we gotta hold our heads high, not listen to the haters, and have hopee that its all gonna pass over, cause it will. :)
