This is an anthem for the homesick, for the beaten,
the lost, the broke, the defeated.
A song for the heartsick, for the standbys,
Living life in the shadow of goodbye.
Do you remember when we learned how to fly?
We'd play make-believe; we were young and had time on our side.
You're stuck on the ground, Got lost, can't be found.
Just remember that you're still alive.
I'll carry you home,
No, you're not alone.
Keep marching on,
This is worth fighting for,
You know we've all got battle scars.
You've had enough,
But just don't give up.
Stick to your guns,
You are worth fighting for.
You know we've all got battle scars.
Keep marching on.
-Battle Scars, by Paradise Fears.
The chief inspiration for this story
A/N: PRE NOTE:
I copy-pasted this from my old quotev account so I could have all my stories in one place. A lot of the author's notes scattered throughout don't make sense, so ignore them! Haha I think most of you do anyway lol
ALSO... PLEASE READ:
Mitch (BajanCanadian) doesn't appear until chapter 5 of this story! So if you're reading and wondering if this actually is a fanfic... it is, I promise. Just hold out til chapter 5 haha.
K thnx Bai! <3
