I was listening, as I do most days, to some "Positivity" lectures online. This lady was reading a book that I love and kept saying "your personal truths" but I kept hearing it as Personal Truce. After about the third or fourth time I thought I had better write that down!
I started working on the song a few months later and quickly realized I was writing over my head as far as the subject matter goes.
I enlisted the help of Carin Fradin and am SO glad that I did. Here is our empowerment song titled Personal Truce.
Enjoy

Personal Truce
Written by Carin Fradin and Brad Hacker
V1
I won’t be a prisoner to my mind
Spinning stories all day
These demons inside me keep wasting my time
And they’re not going away
I’m stuck in this mood, the blues
Something I didn’t choose
But if I’m livin with this
I’m doin it my way, and I got some rules
Chorus
I know what I’m fighting for, I won’t get lost in this war
I’m taking control
Learning to love myself, drown all those voices out
Change my whole point of view
There’s nothing I can’t do
I call a Personal Truce
V2
Now I’m chasin my dreams, feelin so free
Not fallin down when I fail
I keep moving forward, taking the risks I need
To put the wind in my sails
Chorus
I know what I’m fighting for, I won’t get lost in this war
I’m taking control
Learning to love myself, drown all those voices out
Change my whole point of view
There’s nothing I can’t do
I call a Personal Truce
Bridge
Started feeling stronger
When I stopped beating myself up
Found I held all the power when I let my doubts go
I could be enough
Chorus
I know what I’m fighting for, I won’t get lost in this war
I’m taking control
Learning to love myself, drown all those voices out
Change my whole point of view
There’s nothing I can’t do
Oh oh
Nothing I can’t do
I call a Personal Truce
