Sweet Peas Poem
Everyone has an angel,
A guardian who watches over us,
We can't know what form they'll take,
One day old man,
Next day little girl,
But don't let appearances fool you,
They can be as fierce as any dragon,
Yet they're not here to fight our battles,
But to whisper from our heart,
Reminding that it's us,
It's every one of us,
Who holds the power over the worlds we create.
We can deny our angels exist,
Convince our selves they can't be real,
But they show up any way,
At strange places,
And at strange times,
They can speak through every character we can imagine,
They'll shout through demons if they have to,
Daring us,
Challenging us to fight.
And finally this question,
The mystery of whose story it will be,
Of who draws the Curtin,
Who is it that chooses our steps in a dance,
Who drives us mad,
Who lashes us with whips,
And crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible,
Who is it that does all these things,
Who honours those we love for the very life we live,
Who sends monsters to kill us,
And at the same time sing's that we'll never die,
Who teaches us what's real,
And how to laugh at lies,
Who decides why we live and what we die to defend,
Who chains us,
And who holds the key that can set us free,
It's you.
You have all the weapons you need.
Now fight!

Not mine but I love this so much since Sucker Punch is one of my favourite movies and this piece of writing that Sweet Pea say's through out the movie is so hauntingly beautiful I just had to post it. I looked to see if anyone else had posted it but couldn't find it sorry if you have.
Thanx xoxo. iNdi
