Golden ~by Ruth B
The fire used to burn
All the words used to hurt
But you’re not like us
You are different
I couldn’t see that that was a compliment
Cause the last thing I want now is to be you
And the flames don’t feel as hot as they used to
Burn, burn, burn,
They used to yell
You thought I was coal
My friend, I’m gold, can’t you tell?
Burn, burn, burn
They used to yell
You thought I was coal
My friend, I’m gold, can’t you tell?
Cause I’m not weak,
I’m not broken,
I am bold
And the fire you put me through turned me into gold
I’m not done, I’m no loser
Watch me take on my bright future
Tonight I’m no bronze, I’m no silver,
You’ll be thinking damn I knew her
But you didn’t
Don’t get it twisted
Out of the ashes you buried me in,
I, I am golden
I, I am golden
You tried so hard to break me down
Like a fire-breathing dragon,
But I guess I took your crown
You pushed for me to change for you
But I’m so glad that I stayed true to who I am
Burn, burn, burn
They used to yell
You thought I was coal
My friend, I’m gold, can’t you tell?
Cause I’m not weak, I’m not broken
I am bold
And the fire you put me through turned me into gold
I’m not done, I’m no loser
Watch me take on my bright future
Tonight I’m no bronze, I’m no silver
You’ll be thinking damn I knew her
But you didn’t
Don’t get it twisted
Out of the ashes, you buried me in
I, I am golden
I, I am golden
The fire that you tried to burn me with
It made me who I am
All the things you said I couldn’t do
Guess what, yes I can
The fire that you tried to burn me with
It made me who I am
All the things you said I couldn’t do
Guess what, yes I can
Cause I’m not weak, I’m not broken
I am bold
And the fire you put me through turned me into gold
I’m not done, I’m no loser
Watch me take on my bright future
Tonight I’m no bronze, I’m no silver
You’ll be thinking damn I knew her
But you didn’t
Don’t get it twisted
Out of the ashes, you buried me in
I, I am golden
I, I am golden
Golden, gold
I, I am golden, golden, golden.
Golden is one of my favorite songs that inspires me in so many ways. It makes me think of my book which is about how I survived and coped through my separation and divorce in a positive way while trying to work as a single mother, pick up all the pieces and wear a smile through it all while dying inside. I didn’t let this control me, I took control myself.
The book release date is March 2017 at this point and I will keep you posted as it gets closer. This book is for anyone who’s had to live through heartbreak but came out golden because of it. Don’t let someone push you around, you’re worth way more than that type of treatment and deserve real love. Sometimes we don’t realize our courage, strength, and resilience until we’re in it and I think we’re all much stronger than we give ourselves credit for.
You deserve a pat on the back and so much more…
Much love and gratitude to you 🙂
