    Default My struggles put into words

    I need a hand
    I need to speak
    I feel my emotions pulling on my at every tweak
    (Oh)
    I've lied to myself
    Sruck myself with pain
    In trying to heal myself I have caused pain
    (Oh)
    I feel myself pulling
    Always wanting
    Can't think of something so I 'm always crying

    I want to be taken to a place
    With no judgment and no hate
    What I should be
    Who I am
    I've lost touched with these things
    My life feels so made up of pretend

    All this controversy
    All this knowlege unworthy
    (Oh)
    Watch what you teach
    Cause as so it will repeat
    (Oh)
    I search for truth now
    But get lost in fear (how)
    Where do I go from here
    Without guidence how do I steer?

    Thank you for reading, if you did! I just had to let some things out, and I wanted them to be heard so I wrote it! I hope that's okay?

    Also I want to apalogize if I have been posting to many threads! I am learning and searching for answers, so I hope you don't mind! If you do please let me know!

    Thank you!

    I can really really relate to this. Is it a song?

    First of all HUGE HUGS!!!

    Searching for the "truth" when you are in such pain is one of the hardest things to do. Your pain and frustrations can twist what the real truth is. When you say "What I should be".. that struck a nerve with me too. It is so hard looking at society, and looking at people who are succeeding, and feeling that you too "SHOULD" be up there with them. We're all different, we all have our own success stories; even when life is full of stressors and drama and things that make us cry, we HAVE succeeded, we are still alive, we are here on this Earth for a reason.
    You are a human being, full of spirit and love and potential and heart. Take your life as it comes, there will always be ups and downs, but remember that you are still YOU, wonderful you!!!!

    amazing :) I think thats the best way to write...without a realy plan you just let it flow ou of your fingers. That is why I have always hated how they make us make "plans" for our writing in school, we have to plan out every aspect, it really bothers me.

    Thank you!

    I've tried planning, but it hardly ever works with writting! I've tried to come up with a really good name to a song and then write it but it hardly ever work out as well. If I just write when it comes and when I feel it, it always seems to turn out better and be better explained.

    Here is another song I just wrote!

    I've tried dramatic
    Resistance fanatic
    Been so crouded in a world of bad and good
    Ya
    All my hopes and dreams have been shattered
    Cause in my mind progress is a disaster
    Ya
    Always afraid of someone stealing what I master
    That I can't go out and face the disaster

    I can't go on like this
    Livin' in my head with diseased disopline
    Usin' my good for bad
    Now I made up my mind
    (Chorus)
    I've just sat and watched other people
    Live there dreams and fill there glass full
    All the time trying to become a master
    By doing so I've almost lost my whole
    Now I've got to stand up to this pit bull

    To many things have gone wrong for me to lay comfort
    I've been anxious and gone crazed with what's it
    Ya
    In this time
    I have created my own chaos that is tied
    Cause I keep lying to myself
    Ya
    Now it's hit me
    The truth without any traps or holes
    The light without any shadows or walls
    Time to take the next step
    This is it yo

    (sorry) if you don't like me
    (sorry) if I've made a fool and forced you to bite me
    (sorry) if I stand up now strong to fight thee
    (cause) I've been hidin' to long to be happy
    I've been cryin' alone
    It's time to find me

    Gee
    What's right for me
    Gee
    There is so many fads!
    I get confused in this maze!

    Weird! How do I find out what is right for me? Listen to myself!

    Why do I feel this lonelyness
    Every way I turn I feel emptiness
    I feel trapped in a hollow house
    I feel shut in
    Someone let me out


    Where are the keys to this lock of saddness
    I feel drouwneded in maddness
    I've found happiness
    Seems to come and go
    Only felt it for moments
    In this time
    I can awake to the light
    Share this night
    (with me)
    And show me life
    (Chorus)
    How it feels
    To touch the rain drops falling on my shoulder
    All that feels when
    Your so close but so let go
    Let me feel
    My breath on the window
    I want to feel
    All I touch and feel I've been involed
    Feel love
    As close up as it can be



    __________________________________________________ ___________

    Here me now
    Stand with me now
    And listen very carfully to my words I am speaking

    I felt like a chained dog
    Locked to your side
    All our love was covered in fog
    You had me broken up inside
    You'd pull me close
    Just to mess me up
    Then let me go
    Oh
    You tell me you care for me
    Then leave me all alone
    When I need you the most
    You are no where to be found
    (Chorus)
    Where are you now?
    I've searched my thoughts up and down
    But I can't remember
    No I can't feel you
    There was never enough you and me
    I can't find you anymore

    I just tremble
    And try to shack the truth away
    Hide the pain so I don't have to believe all that has appeared now
    I wish you cared for me
    And showed concern when you hurt me
    But you still don't know me
    Oh
    Am I invisible to you only?
    Do you remember
    That you once stood with me?

    There was never enough you and me
    Will I ever find you anywhere?








    Here is two songs, actually two parts of songs!

    You have sooo much on your mind, and I think it's the beginning of a wonderful healing process for you to write these powerful verses. Thank you for sharing them with us, they're wonderful!

    Thank you!

    Sometimes I live so much of the time inside of my head it scares me! I have to open up and take a look at reality. And even sometimes I will make up stories in my head to intertaine myself! I used to do it when I was younger and doing my chores!

    You told me
    Things would be safe
    No need to pretend to act brave
    I can handle it myself
    All your worries can fly away
    (Oh)
    But you was just givin' me shades of truth
    You got no proof
    I've been there-I've done it
    I know it's hard to improve
    (Oh)
    You hurting
    But not looking
    (Oh)
    I'm warning you
    To start listening
    (Chorus)
    But your lies (your lies)
    Come in fases
    They just break me and leave you tied
    No more
    You can't denie
    So many shades of truth
    But really there all just lies

    You can say what you wanna
    Teach me-like your gonna
    Try to make me believe
    But, it don't mean I will recieve
    It's obvious your faking
    Cause your words are explaining your shacking
    I can tell by your voice
    Your in it-with choice

    Do you know
    (Oh do you know)Your words
    They don't
    Convince me
    Cause I can see
    Your just like me
    Look deeper into this mistery
