Excuse my lack of patience

But today I'm feeling faceless

I don't know I don't know I don't know can I go on

My mind says I'm a wasting

My life ain't keeping pace

I don't know I don't know I don't know can I go on

I need a miracle

I need a sign

I need a hero to lift away

I need a miracle

But not for long

I am on my own

My own hero

I will stay strong

I'm on my own

No undertow

Could bring me down

I feel like Superman

I feel like Superman

My laugh is understated

'Cause I don't think I can fake it

I don't know I don't know I don't know can I go on

Been locked inside this cage

And I don't think I can break it

I don't know I don't know I don't know can I go on

I need a miracle but not for long

I am on my own

My own hero

I will stay strong

I am on my own

My own hero

I'm not alone

I'm on my own

No undertow

Could bring me down

I feel like Superman

I feel like Superman

I am on my own

My own hero

Will stay strong

I'm making waves oh I'm making waves

In my heart again I'm making waves

I'm making waves oh I'm making waves

In my heart again I'm making waves

I draw a line at what the people say

I'm making waves I'm making waves

I feel like Superman

I feel like Superman

yeah I'm on my own

(I'm not alone) I don't know I don't know I don't know where to go

(I am on my own, no undertow) yeah I'm on my own

(I'm not alone)

(I am on my own)

(My own hero)

(I'm not alone)

(I am on my own, no undertow) I feel I feel I feel it in my bones

(I'm not alone) I feel I feel I feel it in my soul

I feel, I feel, I feel like Superman

I need a miracle

#ThankfulThursday - Edition #9: Shannon Smoot

Thankful Thursday this week is dedicated to Shannon Smoot, my ride or die best friend. We met back when we were super young at the beginning of our AYSO soccer days when her Dad was our coach. We've gone to elementary, middle and high school together experiencing the many ups and downs of life together. Shannon has always been by my side and we have often joked about "being in same boat" because we are so much alike and tend to face the same challenges and reality checks in life at the same time. She is a true inspiration to me and a friend who I genuinely trust and respect. Shannon is someone who I look up to as a role model and someone who has taught me so much about myself and about life through our endless conversations that contemplate the many complexities of life. She always strives to do more and be more so that she can walk her talk and truly be the change she wants to see in the world. I am so grateful to call her my friend and to have someone that I know I can always count on. 

Shannon -- Thank you for always being there for me, for truly listening, for giving honest feedback and for always understanding!
