"Not Mine"




I've got this feeling running through my head
Thoughts unspoken, building bridges in my brain
No one to listen, words remain unsaid
My voice is mute, only actions can be read
I speak without a tone and my heart bears the pain
.
The air I breathe inspires me to write
And I try to put my thoughts down on paper
A song, as it turns out, about darkness and light
Lyrics you don't understand, someone, somewhere might
So my mid grows calm now as my song gets over
.
Seven months have gone since I wrote my first song
Someone, somewhere might have picked it up from the trash
I barely remember the words, oh its been so long
But I remember the feeling that grew on me so strong
My song is on the radio, as my memories flash
.
My words now have music along with a voice
Chords on guitar, oh it sounds so fine
My feelings are sung out by all girls and boys
But I can never sing, can't even speak by choice
My words sound beautiful, but this voice is not mine.

What Makes Me


Stranded in the dark for so long
Empty streets and broken bridges have been my path
Never knowing where do I belong
Lost and forgotten, trying to follow my heart

Strangers, they come and go
Friends and family promise to stay
The world below my feet, rotating so slow
Nothing changes, except night and day

Surviving each day, no purpose, no goal
Lifeless I lay, searching for a soul
A passion, a drive, something crazy
I need to figure out, what makes me, ME

At the end of the tunnel I see a light 
Still afraid of the steps I take in this path
A constant reminder, I'm not losing this fight
Against myself, I wont lose my heart

We rise then we fall, and then we rise again
Each morning we wake up to a brand new day
Face your fears, time always heals the pain
Where there is a will, there is a way, they say.

No One Just Like Me


I wake up in the morning
With a smile on my face
A sweet sadness in these eyes
But I walk out with grace

I’ve been down, been pushed around
But I’m not giving up
I’ll freak out, I’ll flip out
But I’m not breaking down

I breathe out to the ocean,
I sing out to the sea
There’s a whisper in the waves
That says “there’s no one just like me”

I walk to the broken bridge
And I laugh at the irony
There’s a carving in its cracks
That reads “there’s no one just like me”

I dream of my mother, holding her child
Blissful, the innocence, and the way that it feels
I smile, she smiles, there's a twinkle in her eyes
That says “there’s no one just like me”

I walk back home and I don’t feel so low
The girl in my mirror smiles at me
There’s a story in her smile
That reads “there’s no one just like me”

Her hair is always in a perfect mess
And she never wears the perfect dress
This girl, they say, has been through a lot
But this girl is everything they think she is not!

I'm Holding On


I'm going on, I don't know where I belong
But I'm going on, in search of this feeling so strong

As the wind blows on my face, I'm breathing out to space
I need something to believe, anything I could feel

So I look out to the sky
And the rain drops pour into my eye
I know you're there, somewhere, I believe
Holding on to your life for me
One day you'll be here by my side
Holding your arms around me tight
Whispering sweet nothings into my ears
Chasing away all my fears

As the chills run down my spine, I try to open my mind
I'll be waiting beneath the silver moon, hoping I'll see you soon

So I look out to the sky
And the rain drops pour into my eye
I know you're there, somewhere, I believe
Holding on to your life for meOne day you'll be here by my side
Holding your arms around me tight
Whispering sweet nothings into my ears
Chasing away all my fears

Until then, I'm holding on to the pieces of my life
And I'm holding on to the hopes of finding you
One day you'll be here by my side
So close, everything will be alright
