Wipe Up My Tears

So, I got the inspiration for this song from the craziest of places. It was really weird honestly. Still, I like it.

You might see this song as being focused on a specific guy or something, but it’s not just about that. It can be about any one or anything that has hurt me, or you, or whoever you see as the performer. The feeling of being lonely, being betrayed, and not being good enough, all of that is within this song.

I hope you like the lyrics.

Wipe Up My Tears

Verse 1:
I was told to
Be strong,
To hold on,
But every moment,
I feel like letting go.

I was told to
Stand tall,
Fight through it all,
But this second,
I feel like letting go.

I feel like
Giving up.
I feel like
Hanging up.

Chorus:
No matter how hard
I try.
No matter how well
I fight.
Regardless of everything,
I can’t seem to win.

Every attempt knocks
Me down,
Stabs my heart
Like a dagger in the wind.
And left alone,
I have to wipe up my tears.

Verse 2:
They told me to
Be patient,
To wait for it,
But every minute,
I feel like walking away.

They told me to
Stay true,
To not lose,
But at this moment,
I feel like walking away.

I feel like
Running away.
I feel like
Making an escape.

Chorus

Verse 3:
You said you loved me
For who I was.
You told me to
Hold on to the truth.

But now,
You’re walking away,
Leaving my fragile heart
Scattered in the wind.

I thought
You loved me,
‘Cause I loved you.

Chorus

Inactive Lately....

Hey everybody!

Sorry for not posting much lately. I really needed to concentrate on my grades over the past few months, but eberything is good now. Summer has officially started for me.

Just because I was busy with school does not mean that I didn't write any new pieces. I've gotten a lot of inspiration over the school year amd have written a lot of new songs. So, I will be posting a few of those songs over this summer break.

I hope you all have a great summer! :)

The Feelings of Love

So, I woke up at noon today and laid in my bed, checking my tweets because I didn't feel like getting up and facing the rude people in my dorm yet.

Anyway, I wrote this poem while laying in my bed. I don't know why, but I seem to write a lot of songs and poems at the spur of the moment. It's a little strange, but that just proves that I am a writer through and through.

So, here is my latest poem. I hope you all like it! :)

------------------------------------------------------------

It’s been too long
Since I’ve seen your face,
Seen your smile
That brightened my day.

I’ve honestly forgotten
What the feeling of love
Really is.
I’ve been away from it
Too long.

I can still remember
Seeing you there,
Looking at me
With a sweet smile.

I can still remember
Walking up to you,
Wrapping arms around you,
Giving you what you wanted.

But if I can remember
All of that,
Then why can’t I remember
The feelings of love?

Have they fluttered
Away from me
With intentions to
Never return?

Did someone else take
Those feelings away?
Since everyone seems
To find love these days.

When I think about
Those feelings,
I think about you.

I miss you.
I miss walking
By your side.
I miss holding your hand.
I miss everything about you.

When I try to be
With someone else,
My heart hurts,
And I only think of you.

Could it be?
Could it be that
You took my feelings of love
With you?

If so,
Then will you ever return
With them?
Come back to me?

It’s okay though.
It’s okay that my feelings are
With you now.
Because I know you will come back.

For now
And forever, always,
My feelings of love will
Be with you,
And that’s all that
I could ever ask for.

Everlasting Peace

This is the first song that I have written that actually has music composed to it.

I performed this song at my church's Youth Day with the help of my worship team leader. The lyrics focus on peace and the troubles that may come before one can actually get that peace from God.

I am so proud of this song. My hard work has finally paid off. I am also proud of everyone who helped me to make the song in itself.

Even if I don't get anywhere too far with this song, I just want to inspire people to do something with their lives.

I hope you all enjoy! :)

(Yeah, the picture is a little touch and go, but that doesn't matter. Just listen to the words of the song and the music.)
