Firework

In my opinion, this song remains an anthem to this day for anyone who’s going through tough times that make one undermine their worth. It is true that we are the owners of our lives and how the world sees us should be an extension of how we see ourselves. One should not give in to the peer pressure of social media or acquaintances if that pressure causes a negative emotion. That said, loving yourself and being healthy should be among the top priorities in our lives. I love that it was Satine's sing in the musical Moulin Roughe.

Don't underestimate your abilities to shine!

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin Like a house of cards, one blow from cavin' in? Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing Do you know that there's still a chance for you? 'Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light And let it shine Just own the night Like the Fourth of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework Come on, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh" As you shoot across the sky

You don't have to feel like a waste of space You're original, cannot be replaced If you only knew what the future holds After a hurricane comes a rainbow Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light And let it shine Just own the night Like the Fourth of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework Come on, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh" As you shoot across the sky
