I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely.
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything.
The opening lines from the song Roar by photogenic Californian popstar Katy Perry, from her fourth studio album Prism (2013). Co-written by Perry, the empowering single topped the charts in 14 countries, including the UK and the USA.

This song is the definition of empowering.
This generation’s RESPECT. Funny to think of the impact she’s had when she started listening to popular music so late.
I love Katy Perry.
She’s as popular as anybody. So consistent.
Speaking of music, did you see my sexy playlist?
I did. I imagine she’ll be in the next one you do.
A few of her songs could make the next playlist. The list proved popular, I wonder why? Haha.
I like her younger stuff, when she was discovering herself, better than I do now.
Any songs in particular?
Teenage Dream of course. And Kiss a Girl
She sure knew how to announce herself!
She had a lot to recover from
Katy is fabulous!
My sister saw her live and said she put on a hell of a show. A natural on stage.
I wasn’t going to own up to it, but I saw her in concert too! Your sister is right, she is an amazing performer! 😃
Totally. My sister would happily go and see her again.
I love this song
Not just you. It’s the 11th most seen music video on Youtube.
On my morning playlist! Get’s me fortified along with a giant cup of coffee!
Sounds like I should try that too.
