Fighting For a Feeling

by Christina Gomes   May 9, 2007


I'm letting go of everything
That I though I'd hold onto
I'm risking this fragile thing
All because of you

I'm carrying this fear
That I thought I'd never admit
I'm trying to find the right words
But they just don't seem to fit

I'm fighting for a feeling
That I though I couldn't feel
I'm giving you my heart
This has never felt so real

I'm experiencing something new
That I thought I wouldn't see
I'm out of my comfort zone
You usually fought for me

I'm hoping on these dreams
That I though I would never understand
I'm wishing with my everything
You'll choose to take my hand

These were amazing
And I'm doing all that I can do
To have you standing by my side
Because I'm falling hard for you

    Being extraordinarily picky. I like punctuation, that may just be personal preference.

    I'm letting go of everything,
    I though I'd hold onto. --Removed the "that." Does it flow better?
    I'm risking this fragile thing,
    All because of you.

    I'm carrying this fear,
    I thought I'd never admit. --Removed the "that."
    I try to find the words, --switched it up a bit...
    But they just don't seem to fit.

    I'm fighting for a feeling,
    I though I couldn't feel.
    I'm giving you my heart,
    This has never felt so real.

    I'm seeing something new, --it feels so beautifully simple, the word experiencing seems to ruin the childlike feeling it has.
    That I thought I wouldn't see.
    I'm out of my comfort zone,
    I thought you fought for me. --This line didn't jibe with me. I don't like it this way either though...

    I'm hoping on these dreams,
    I thought I'd never understand. --shortened a bit, for flow.
    I'm wishing with my everything,
    You'll choose to take my hand.

    These were amazing, --What are "these"?
    And I'm doing all that I can. --removed the "do"
    To have you standing by my side,
    Cause I'm falling hard for you. --"Cause" works better with the rhythm, but it isn't as nice a word.

    I like the feeling in this piece, taking risks is something I don't do enough of.
