Alright right now I'm just gonna copy & paste the songs I've already written that are in my first journal...

{I wrote this song back in October 2013, when I was in 7th grade...}

~Miss Nobody~

Girl, do you remember that girl who was your bestie?
Two inseparables?
Do you remember how you ditched her for the Popular Crowd?
Now I'm nothing, in no crowd...

Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody
I may have flesh & bone
But it's if I'm a ghost
Miss Nobody
Ignorance is not bliss
Yeah, yeah
Miss Nobody

Boy, do you remember that girl who liked you?
Y'all were close till you found out
You fell for her enemy in a fit of anger & fear
It certainly made her drown in tears
Now I'm in the background
But I'm dying to come out....

Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody
I may have flesh & bone
But it's if I'm a ghost
Miss Nobody
Ignorance is not bliss
Yeah, yeah
Miss Nobody

Breathe in, breathe out
If I'm a ghost, I guess I'll freak you out
Breathe in, breathe out
If I'm a ghost, I guess I'll freak you out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out,
If I'm a ghost, I'll guess I'll freak you out


Yeah, I'm Miss Nobody
I may have flesh & bone
But it's if I'm a ghost
Miss Nobody
Ignorance is not bliss
Yeah, yeah
Miss Nobody

Oh whoa whoa...

{I wrote this song during the summer. If I can edit it a little more & set some music & melodies to it, I wanna see if I can sing it at my 8th Grade graduation in May.}


~Capable~

You were always there in the shadows
Claiming I could never do anything right
You would knock me down in battle
Laughing at the sight of me
You'd pelt me with all your stones
The words saying:
"You're ugly,
You forever be alone,
You can't dance,
You zone out in class,
You suck at all sports,
You procrastinate reports
You're too shy,
You'll never amount to anything."
Well your words made me cry
They were pain
& I never wanted to try anything
But my daddy always told me
"Actions speak louder than words"
So from that moment I declared...

I can climb the highest mountain
Speak my mind with out a doubt
& sing in Madison Square live
With the tip of my Sword
I'll slice your words to pieces
'Cause after all you don't know what I'm capable of
You don't know what I'm capable of

The lies you told me made me wanna reach for the sky
I wanted to prove that I could live for a purpose in life
I could be everything you claimed I was not
I just proved I had my shot

I can climb the highest mountain
Speak my mind with out a doubt
& sing in Madison Square live
With the tip of my Sword
I'll slice your words to pieces
'Cause after all you don't know what I'm capable of
You don't know what I'm capable of

You tried to knock me down
But I climbed higher
You wnat to burn me
But I'm immune to your fire
Your lies won't define me
'Cause God is the Author of my story
I can overcome
You wanna burn me, right?
Well you're wasting your time
I'm immune to your fire
Immune to your fire, yeah!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa-ah...

I have climbed the highest mountain
Spoke my mind with out a doubt
& sung in Madison Square live
With the tip of my Sword
I've sliced your words to pieces
'Cause after all you didn't know what I was capable of
You didn't know what I was capable of

I can climb the highest mountain
Speak my mind with out a doubt
& sing in Madison Square live
With the tip of my Sword
I'll slice your words to pieces
'Cause after all you don't know what I'm capable of
You don't know what I'm capable of...

New song I wrote...


~Daydream~

I can escape into the realm
Where I'm hidden from the bright lights
Flashing & judging me
& see the angels flying around happily
& wild
Oh, I'm the shepherd child
But I can escape from the giant
It's okay to hide it
And escape once in a while
What the plot twist
Brings with it on it traveling all those miles

But I'll escape from the dark side
But also the from the city lights
& dodge whatever the waves toss at me
'Cause this the moment to be renewed
This is the place to not be refused
This is where we'll be finally free
To fly & dream
To fly & dream

I can escape into the realm
Where we'll all float down the river
& we'll smile at the shivers
That are washing away the residue of reality
Oh, I'm the one who's finally free
From the Lion's Den, you see
& you can all finally jump into the arms of those you love
Soaring with romantic wings above
'Cause freedom has never been so easy to reach

But I'll escape from the dark side
But also the from the city lights
& dodge whatever the waves toss at me
'Cause this the moment to be renewed
This is the place to not be refused
This is where we'll be finally free
To fly & dream
To fly & dream

Can I stay just another minute?
'Cause I don't wanna leave this
But I have to face reality eventually
But quick, let me sculpt my dreams
To build them in reality
& show that dreams aren't as imaginary as they seem

Just another moment please...

But I'll escape from the dark side
But also the from the city lights
& dodge whatever the waves toss at me
'Cause this the moment to be renewed
This is the place to not be refused
This is where we'll be finally free
To fly & dream
To fly & dream

Maybe we can finally match this to reality
So when we escape from this realm
We can go to reality
& also there, finally be free
To fly & dream
To fly & dream

~Battle Scars (Okay)~

"Chin up, smile wide,
It'll be okay,
Shoulders back, confident,
It'll be okay"
That's what people say
Well, I don't know
I just don't know anymore
"It's a lie, don't be shy,
It'll be okay,
Trust in God, it'll soon be gone,
It'll be okay"
That's what people say
Well, I don't know
I just don't know anymore

Why can't life be easier?
Why can't life be happier?
Why can't I just smile one time
Without feeling like it's forced really wide?

I don't know what the future holds,
I don't know if my heart's been sold out
I don't know why it's this hard to hang on
To struggle on this long

But I've got battle scars
I've got battle scars
The scars show what I've been through
How I've started anew
I'm still alive
I've made it this far
I've fought this hard
I guess I'll be okay

"Scream it out, sing it loud,
It'll be okay,
Dance it off, do the flop,
It'll be okay"
That's what people say
Will it be okay?
I don't know
I just don't know
"Breathe in, breathe out,
It'll be okay,
Don't cry anymore, do artwork,
It'll be okay"
That's what people say
Well, I don't know
I just don't know anymore

Why can't life be easier?
Why can't life be happier?
Why can't I just smile one time
Without feeling like it's forced really wide?

I don't know what the future holds,
I don't know if my heart's been sold out
I don't know why it's this hard to hang on
To struggle on this long

But I've got battle scars
I've got battle scars
The scars show what I've been through
How I've started anew
I'm still alive
I've made it this far
I've fought this hard
I guess I'll be okay

Will I be okay?
I will I stay alive?
'Cause my plant of life is struggling to thrive
I don't know whether to believe the lies
Or believe the truth
They say one makes one rich
I don't even know which is which...
I don't know what the future holds,
I don't know if my heart's been sold out
I don't know why it's this hard to hang on
To struggle on this long

But I've got battle scars
I've got battle scars
The scars show what I've been through
How I've started anew
I'm still alive
I've made it this far
I've fought this hard
I guess I'll be okay

But I've got battle scars
I've got battle scars
The scars show what I've been through
How I've started anew
I'm still alive
I've made it this far
I've fought this hard
I guess I'll be okay

Even if I don't believe this tomorrow,
I'll be okay.

I WROTE THIS SONG 2 YEARS AGO. I putting it up cuz I feel like it's how a lot of people on here feel....


~They Don't Really Know Me~

Voices raised, slamming doors
I'm running to my room in tears
Every night ends in a fight
No one to confide in
I'll cry on my friends' shoulders
They're the only ones who get me
Or do they?
Doesn't anyone understand?

They don't really know me, know me
They've got bits & pieces,
But they don't know the whole truth
They don't really know me, know me
They don't know the torture I put myself through,
Or how I'm coping with it
They don't really know me, know me
& they don't seem to care

I'm putting my head down
I'm feeling defeated
The tears are falling down my face
Why can't they see how I'm truly feeling?
This is who I am inside,
But they won't open their eyes
So I'm locking up my heart
If they won't bother to know

They don't really know me, know me
They've got bits & pieces,
But they don't know the whole truth
They don't really know me, know me
They don't know the torture I put myself through,
Or how I'm coping with it
They don't really know me, know me
& they don't seem to care

I'm falling down,
Please don't catch me.
I'm falling down,
Please don't catch me.
I'm falling down,
Please don't catch me.
I'm falling down,
PLEASE DON'T CATCH ME.

They don't really know me, know me
They've got bits & pieces,
But they don't know the whole truth
They don't really know me, know me
They don't know the torture I put myself through,
Or how I'm coping with it
They don't really know me, know me
& they don't seem to care

They don't really know me, know me
They've got bits & pieces,
But they don't know the whole truth
They don't really know me, know me
They don't know the torture I put myself through,
Or how I'm coping with it
They don't really know me, know me
& they don't seem to care...

~Smile~

Smile
I wanna see you smile again
Smile
Let your faith show again
Smile
As you cry into the night
I'll pray you smile come the morning light
Smile

It's been a long year for you
The world has been a burden
I know that you're hurting
All these lies planted into your mind
Make you frown & get worry lines
Your sky is dark now
It's crowded with storm clouds
But there's always hope
You can take the rope that will help you on your journey
And...

Smile
I wanna see you smile again
Smile
Let your faith show again
Smile
As you cry into the night
I'll pray you smile come the morning light
Smile

You got that heart that helps millions
Make them feel like gold
Don't believe all that you're told
It could bring you down
Make your faith drown
You gotta heart of gold
And a smile that radiants the sun's glow
You and I haven't seen it in a while
So please....

Smile
I wanna see you smile again
Smile
Let your faith show again
Smile
As you cry into the night
I'll pray you smile come the morning light
Smile

C'mon
Look up
God makes you feel loved
C'mon
Look up
God makes you feel loved
C'mon
Look up
God makes you loved
Oh, He loves you
Yeah, He loves you
And that's a reason to
That's a reason to....

Smile
I wanna see you smile again
Smile
Let your faith show again
Smile
As you cry into the night
I'll pray you smile come the morning light
Smile

Smile
I wanna see you smile again
Smile
Let your faith show again
Smile
As you cry into the night
I'll pray you smile come the morning light
Smile

God smiles when you smile

I'd rather die than live without music, to be completely honest.

[[deleted user]]

I'm gonna upload a couple more original songs this weekend, & then maybe a song review. *crosses fingers*

[[deleted user]]

~Insomniac~

I can't sleep tonight
There's too much to think about
Too much on my mind to sleep right
Too much on my mind to be sound
I can't sleep tonight
There's too much in this world to worry about
Too much that even my dreams can't contain these thoughts
I'm slowly thriving, but then again I'm not

I'll lie awake & stare into the sky
Letting these thoughts run through my mind
My body's too worked up to rest tonight
I'll rest my head on my pillow
And just keep my eyes on the sleepy billow
But there isn't any way I can rest right tonight

There's the mermaid calls
& the graffiti on the walls
That appear everywhere when I close my eyes
But no way am I seeing them tonight
My emotions are the Lego pieces
My thoughts are drifting in with different thesis
I can't expect to survive if I close these eyes of mine

I'll lie awake & stare into the sky
Letting these thoughts run through my mind
My body's too worked up to rest tonight
I'll rest my head on my pillow
And just keep my eyes on the sleepy billow
But there isn't any way I can rest right tonight

I'll be staring till the sun comes up
My thoughts always overtake me
Am I crazy?
Yup, probably
I might not be right
But don't think you'll ever find me sleeping these nights...

I'll lie awake & stare into the sky
Letting these thoughts run through my mind
My body's too worked up to rest tonight
I'll rest my head on my pillow
And just keep my eyes on the sleepy billow
But there isn't any way I can rest right tonight

I'll lie awake & stare into the sky
Letting these thoughts run through my mind
My body's too worked up to rest tonight
I'll rest my head on my pillow
And just keep my eyes on the sleepy billow
But there isn't any way I can rest right tonight

OK, that was really bad. I'll edit after school later. It's 2:06am here, & my tummy hurts, & as the song says, there's too much on my mind for me to sleep.
