Back when I was in middle-school, I was a shy, chubby kid and I got bullied just about everyday.
Being into videogames, I saw the movie, Mortal Kombat Annihilation. My best friend bought the soundtrack and let me borrow it.
I still remember sitting on my bed and listening to this song on repeat over and over on lazy afternoons. I couldn't believe that I identified with a song SO MUCH.
It really lifted my spirits and vindicated me. I felt like someone truly understood me and what I was going through. Without this song, my life may have been turned out totally different. Because of it, I turned my life around. I worked out, I became more social, I left past grudges behind, I made new friends and people from middle-school always tell me I've changed.
I still play this song anytime I set off to meet a new challenge... a job interview... trying to break records in the gym...going on a date with an attractive girl-- to me this song is the embodiment of courage, and it always fills me with it, because it reminds me of the scared little boy I used to be and how I just wouldn't lie down as everyone walked away... I knew that everyone couldn't be right. And even though everyone decided that I was inferior, I didn't let them determine my destiny.
I owe a huge thanks to Face to Face and Trever Keith for writing this song. This song influenced me for the better at the most pivotal time of my adolescent life.
A little more about this song and me.
It is my all-time favorite song.
