"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
