Take a Stand, You’re Stronger than You Think! - (www.guamcoalition.org)



Here’s a an uplifting song by Sara Bareilles, entitled “King of Anything,” encouraging us to take a stand when we are being abused, made fun of, or controlled in any way. We each have our own voice and identity, and can made our own opinions. If your relationship is making you feel dependent, powerless, or worthless, walk away! No one has the right to make you less than you truly are. Your partner is not the “king of anything” – especially not with you.





King of Anything by Sara Bareilles

Keep drinking coffee
Stare me down across the table while I look outside
So many things I’d say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

You’ve got opinions, man
We’re all entitled to ‘em
But I never asked
So let me thank you for your time and try not to waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe but I’m not drowning
There’s no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything

You sound so innocent, so full of good intent
You swear you know best
But you expect me to jump on board with you
Ride off into your delusional sunset

I’m not the one who’s lost with no direction
But you won’t ever see
You’re so busy makin’ maps
With my name on them in all caps
You got the talkin’ down just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything

All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy while I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it’s my turn to decide

And who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything
Let me hold your crown, babe
