So here it is… day #5 of my 365 day blogging challenge showcasing One Of My Unofficial Anthems “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield. Unwritten holds a special meaning to me as it talks about the autonomy that we as humans must take in our journey to what is the story of our lives.
The greatest gift that a person can give to themselves is the gift of self actualisation, the path to a person becoming who it is that they want to be, free of restraints fro from family or social expectations…. letting go of the ties that keeps us safe from life’s obstacles… realising that letting go doesn’t necessarily mean cutting ties completely… but it does mean letting you feel life in the winds that take you through your life’s journey…. free to return to the security and safety of your yesterdays self but yet far enough to allow self-growth and transformation in the wee that becomes I.
“My Unofficial Anthem – Unwritten” Celebrates who is that I am… standing tall in my own convictions… journeying through my own life’s path… The songs “Brave” by Sara Bareilles and “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield give me the words that my heart sings.
“Unwritten – Natasha Bedingfield” – Rewritten Interpretation
You woke on this day
And truly began to breathe
Scared for your tomorrows
And the night draws near.
Breaking free from your shackles
That life has you anchored to
Awakening soul
Fresh eyes
And free will
You are busily flipping through
The pictured storybook of your life to now.
Beautifully coloured
Even the speed humped moments
Are depicted with love.
Wrongs are written
With quotations of lessons learned
With pictured drawings of ropes
Showing you with enough rope to swing
To feel the pain
But close enough to yank you back
To the shackles that protect you in your life.
Each page
And each day
And journal living and breathing
What should be your life?
I’m reading you now
The story of my life
Not wanting to erase you or rewrite your past
But your shackles I am removing
You must let me fall, in you I trust
Let go of my rope
I must feel me live in winds of my life.
Today is gone
And tomorrow will soon be here
Pages in my history book
Is left blank for the new me.
Scared and afraid of this journey that I have begun taking
But looking forward to the feelings
That only freedom can bring.
Let me free fall into my life
Holding my weight up in this world
Embarking on a journey
Unwritten
Unspoken
Let me fulfil my dreams
My journey I have to undertake
Let me grow to be me
Free from the shackles
That keeps me safe in my days.
Each page
And each day
And journal living and breathing
What should be your life?
I’m reading you now
The story of my life
Not wanting to erase you or rewrite your past
But your shackles I am removing
You must let me fall, in you I trust
Let go of my rope
I must feel me live in the winds of my life.
Each page and each day
Will tell a new story in my book
Living and breathing
The path that my life was born to become
Free from my shackles
Untied from my ropes
Free falling into life
Walking tall
And into the sun.

So now you gave me homework. I need to get the two songs and listen to them by themselves and then through your eyes. Very cool.
