What doesn&#039;t kill you only makes you stronger.<br /> <br /> Don&#039;t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.<br /> <br /> Dream like you will live forever, live like you will die today.


Is there something I should know?
Nobody’s fool.
Nothing in common,
with or without you

Love is a battlefield,
guns in the sky
hit me with your best shot.
Never surrender-
boys don’t cry.

Burning heart, broken wings…
Do you really want to hurt me?
Owner of a lonely heart
things can only get better.

I want to break free
I want to know what love is
I still haven’t found what I’m looking for-
Heaven knows I’m miserable now.
Goodbye.

Each line is the title of a different 80s song... found poetry! :)

This is very original! I love the fact you incorperated older songs into your work, that went along with the message you were trying to put across. Keep up the good work!
