Oh my gosh.
It's been quite a while. Well, I've been really busy during winter. It's winter break you know and it's time for travelling. Busy. busy, busy!
It's a shame that I didn't write a new song. Well, actually I did but I don't have my songbook with me at the moment. :(
Anyways, I decided to add another post on my blog; just in case I don't post another before the new year.
I can't believe that it's been almost a year since I started this blog. Time sure does fly by. My new year's resolution: To post more songs on this blog and hopefully record some of them and create a demo CD. I might even post some music on this blog...
Well, that's all I have to say for now.
I wish I had my songbook with me. Oh well.
If I don't post again before 2011 I would like to wish y'all a
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
(Oh and Merry Christmas!!) :D

another day, another chorus...
Somewhere deep inside,
The mirror in front of me lies,
It doesn't show me who I am inside,
And it hurts.
Beyond my reflection is the truth,
How much I'm missing you.
And i just want to,
Stay stronger...
The mirror in front of me lies,
It doesn't show me who I am inside,
And it hurts.

Best Years of My Life
These years have passed by so fast,
I remember when I was small.
You always made me laugh,
Those were the best years of my life.
It seemed like a dream,
How wonderful life was,
Now I can't go back to sleep,
But those were the best years of my life.
You'd make me smile and life me up,
Call me your angel and princess.
I know that I lived my fairytale.
You'd hold me close when I cried,
Comforted me with your words,
Made me feel like I was special.
Those were the best years of my life...
So many memories in my heart.
I'll cherish them forever,
Each day was something to look forward to.
Those were the best years of my life.
I'd listen to everything you'd say,
Laughed at all your jokes,
You'd make me feel better on my worst days.
Those were the best years of my life.
You'd make me smile and life me up,
Call me your angel and princess.
I know that I lived my fairytale.
You'd hold me close when I cried,
Comforted me with your words,
Made me feel like I was special.
Those were the best years of my life...
You'd help me up when I'd fall,
Encourage me every step of the day.
Worked hard to care for others,
And always had a smile on your face...
You'd make me smile and life me up,
Call me your angel and princess.
I know that I lived my fairytale.
You'd hold me close when I cried,
Comforted me with your words,
Made me feel like I was special.
Those were the best years of my life...
That was my fairytale, the best years of my life.
--This song is dedicated to my grandpa. <3

I Miss You
Watching the raindrops fall,
Shattering to the ground,
It's like the sky is crying.
Drifting my mind to the past,
Each raindrop is a memory,
I'm counting each raindrop in my heart.
I force a smile a smile on my face,
Waiting for a new day.
Opening up my heart,
And let sunshine in.
The question's wandering in my mind,
Keeping me up, making me cry,
Do I miss you?
The echo is in the back of my head,
Words that have been left unsaid,
I miss you.
Counting all the colors of,
The rainbow shining above,
It's like there's a whole new world.
I'm sitting in the lonely place,
Wondering what I should say,
To prevent myself from hurting.
I force a smile on my face,
Waiting for a new day,
Removing the pain out of my heart,
And figure out why
The question's wandering in my mind,
Keeping me up, making me cry,
Do I miss you?
The echo is in the back of my head,
Words that have been left unsaid,
I miss you.
I'm pacing back and fourth,
Not knowing where to go.
I'm stuck, in the memories,
I'm stuck, waiting to believe,
That wishes do come true.
I miss you.
The question's wandering in my mind,
Keeping me up, making me cry,

The echo is in the back of my head,

I miss you.

Shattering to the ground,
It's like the sky is crying...

Don't Let Go
This song is about bullying. I strongly care about this issue so please, stand up for bullying.
Everywhere I go, something turns me down.
I see others, falling to the ground.
I wanna find a way to figure it all out.
And I just want it to stop…
What’s going on in their mind?
Picking on others, who are trying to fight?
Fighting back to stand up for themselves.
I want it to end.
Don’t let go…
You must hold on to your heart.
Don’t let go…
Take each step to the top.
Behind the tears there is a smile,
Behind the hate is love
Behind everything else is a new world,
A place to stand up.
Behind the words there is a melody,
Behind the pain there is a dream.
And although you seem to be alone,
Just don’t let go…
I just can’t seem to think,
When danger of others hit.
And I know that each one of us gets picked on.
But I hate how it hurts.
Every time I see someone getting hurt.
It makes me feel so worse.
I close my eyes, hoping things will change.
And I wanna say…
Don’t let go…
You must hold on to your heart.
Don’t let go…
Take each step to the top.
Behind the tears there is a smile,
Behind the hate is love
Behind everything else is a new world,
A place to stand up.
Behind the words there is a melody,
Behind the pain there is a dream.
And although you seem to be alone,
Just don’t let go…
Feel that you can fly.
And no one can reach you.
Feel as if you can soar higher,
Higher you can imagine.
So no one can bring you down...
Behind the tears there is a smile,
Behind the hate is love
Behind everything else is a new world,
A place to stand up.
Behind the words there is a melody,
Behind the pain there is a dream.
And although you seem to be alone,
Just don’t let go…

Run Away
This is what happens when I mesh up bits and pieces of random songs... enjoy :)
I feel inisible,
You see right through me,
And you don't realize,
Anything I want.
You make me insane,
I was going out of my mind.
But the truth is,
You're hurting me inside.
Every day seems to pass by,
I suck it up, hoping things will turn out right.
Do you ever think about how I feel?
As if you never saw me dreaming,
Hoping things will be easy,
But it ends up high and falling all over again.
As if you never knew it would happen,
As if you're lying to my face,
And whenever you change your mind,
It makes me want to run away.
I find it difficult,
To trust anyone now.
It's hard to let go,
Every memory that's pained my heart.
I'm trying to pretend,
That I don't care.
But with all the fights and noise,
It makes me want hide.
And every time I look back
I try to think of all the good memories,
But they seem to hide in the back of my mind.
As if you never saw me dreaming,
Hoping things will be easy,
But it ends up high and falling all over again.
As if you never knew it would happen,
As if you're lying to my face,
And whenever you change your mind,
It makes me want to run away

Here's a bit of math for you...
Poetry + rhythm + music = lyrics.
It makes sense, doesn't it?
You know what's been happening to me lately?
I've been writing poetry...
A LOT of poetry.
It makes writing lyrics a lot easier... and harder sometimes.
But when you add music, or a beat to the poem, they sound like lyrics.
It pretty cool, if I do say so myself.
Here's a snippet of my poetry. Feel free to critique.
When stars shooting above my head,
Flying as if they are trying to run away,
Do I dream?
Do I just stay,
And keep still?
Dreaming that the wish will come true,
Once you've asked for it,
Do you think it will come true?
Okay, so I can do WAY better.... but I just came up with this at the top of my head.

This is what inspiration does to me...
I hate how you play games,
This game that I call love.
Its blinded me,
And breaking me inside.
Every step I take is,
Moving me forward.
But it seems as thought,
My mind is in the past.
My mind desires peace,
Peace from all this misery,
Because i fought through it all,
But now i give up.
Heads or tails, I flip a coin,
Deciding right from wrong.
Inside my head I think,
Is there a way out?
Every time i try to mend my heart,
It slips from my hands,
It falls to the ground,
And shatters all over again.
--My friend showed me this poem and it inspired me to write this. Isn't this so sad?
Inspiration really hits me deep. :]

FINISHED! -
YES! I finally finished that song of mine from my last post! Here is the full version of the song...
and I'm so extremely sorry I haven't posted in a very long time.
Life's been getting busy.
So any-who, here it is.
When I was young I thought,
Fairytales come true.
We all have happy endings,
If only I knew.
Sometimes promises break,
People move on,
Realize life's not perfect,
We have to stay strong.
And every time we try to mend our hearts,
They seem to slip out of our hands,
And shatter apart...
And every time we say we don't care,
We just can't keep our word,
And wonder.
How long is this tragic story gonna end?
Cause I thought that we all have a happy ending.
How long will the magic last?
Life isn't what it really is,
It keeps going up and down,
Sorry is never when you need it,
It never comes around.
Every little mistake is made,
So we can all learn from them.
Sometimes we cannot stay,
So we just move on... and move forwawrd.
And every time we try to mend our hearts,
They seem to slip out of our hands,
And shatter apart...
And every time we say we don't care,
We just can't keep our word,
And wonder.

Randoms
Found an old fairytale storybook of mine. I think I got it when I was about 7 years old...?
It kind of inspired me to write these two verses... let me know what you think.
"When I was young I thought.
Fairytales come true.
That we all have happy endings,
If I only knew.
Sometimes promises break,
We all move on.
Realize life isn't perfect.
We have to stay strong."
So... what do you think? I'm trying to finish it... if only I wasn't cursed with writers block today.
Personally, I think writers shouldn't get writers block... but then again, there are advantages to them... I just don't know what they are.
Do you?

Long time no post
Wow. It's been a while.
Woah... Paramore songs are actually very inspiring.
Here's another song. I still need a title.
You said you made the biggest mistake of your life.
You couldn't believe you fell for all those lies.
I'm listening to every word you say.
And wondering if there's a way to fix it.
You thought there would be happy endings to your dreams.
You listened to old songs to help you believe.
Now you wonder what has gone wrong,
And why you ever bother with love...
You swore you'd never fall again.
You tried to let your mind forget.
You thought you'd never get a single care.
As you searched everywhere...
*chorus*
Looking around for a miracle.
Wondering if you'll get your respect.
Hoping that someday he will,
Look beneath and accept.
Looking around for something magical.
Fighting for what you need.
Hoping there is something wonderful,
Every time you believe...
You keep fighting every single night.
Trying to keep quiet, but it doesn't work out right.
And I'm listening,
Wondering if there will be an end.
Regretting everything the next day.
Wanting to feel like you're running away.
And I think if love is really true,
Why does it feel like it's going to waste?
You swore you'd never fall again.
You tried to let your mind forget.
You thought you'd never get a single care.
As you searched everywhere...

my not-so-secret obsession...
Well, now I have a new secret obsession... And guess what? I AM GOING TO TELL YOU!
I bet that makes you feel special... doesn't it?
Well, I hope it does. Anyways, my "secret" obsession is writing quotes. (it's not so secret now, isn't it?)
I just think of quotes as little bits and pieces of songs. Maybe a line or two. A small phrase. Quotes are pretty much small things people say that others may find interesting, funny, inspiring, moving... ect. Y'all get the idea.
Some of my quotes aren't even from my songs, but I think I can add them into them though...
Any-who, here are some of my quotes...
"A true friend has the key to your heart"
"Time isn't going to wait for you. Time isn't going to wait for anyone. You just have to live life to the fullest because every moment is passing by..."
"And if you keep saying that my dreams won't come true, I'll just have to keep playing my guitar until I find the right tune."
"The things you love the most are the hardest to let go..."
"Dreams are telling your mind what your heart is saying..."
Trust me, I have more, but this is all that I'll post today. :D

Someone I'm Not
I seem to wonder,
That I shouldn't change who I am.
To please you, be liked.
I realized I should have taken a stand.
I've come a long way now,
I think you would be surprised.
I bet you're wondering how,
But things happen over time.
*chorus*
See, that I'm not gonna be someone I'm not.
Trust me, I wouldn't change everything I've got.
But I know, I know, I see,
That there's no possibility,
That I'm changing for something too small,
To be someone I'm not...
You made me break down,
I thought I messed up everything.
I wanted to fit in,
Guess that didn't work out.
Did you think I'd stay the same.
Guess what? You're wrong.
Why yes, I have changed,
But the real me isn't gone.
*chorus*
See, that I'm not gonna be someone I'm not.
Trust me, I wouldn't change everything I've got.
But I know, I know, I see,
That there's no possibility,
That I'm changing for something too small,
To be someone I'm not...
I've been told I can't please everyone,
Even if I tried.
So I'm just gonna try to please the ones I love,
With me, myself, and I...
So love me, or hate me,
But I'm not gonna change.
For something way to small...
*chorus*
See, that I'm not gonna be someone I'm not.
Trust me, I wouldn't change everything I've got.
But I know, I know, I see,
That there's no possibility,
That I'm changing for something too small,
To be someone I'm not...
-- So that was one of my most recent songs. (I actually wrote it this morning)

So, I wrote this poem...
I also write poetry too, not just lyrics. Besides, lyrics and songs are basically poetry, but just in a musical format. Anyways, this is one of my best pieces...
Shadow
It mirrors every move I make,
Follows every path.
In sunshine,
It never leaves my side,
Protecting me from the obstacles in the world.
When night falls,
It magically disappears.
It's shielding someone else,
Or resting for it's new adventure.
A dark,
Grey figure,
Full of life and emotions.
It's ready to speak,
But it can't.
I hope you like it! :)
Shadow
It mirrors every move I make,
Follows every path.
In sunshine,
It never leaves my side,
Protecting me from the obstacles in the world.
When night falls,
It magically disappears.
It's shielding someone else,
Or resting for it's new adventure.
A dark,
Grey figure,
Full of life and emotions.
It's ready to speak,
But it can't.
I hope you like it! :)

Lemme show ya'll a little something...
Hey everyone!!!
Every songwriter and/or musician is unique in their own way. Then again, EVERYONE is different in their own way! Anyways, something that makes me unique is what I do in my songbook. Technically, my songbook is quite unique... Take a look at this -->
This is the back of my songbook. As you can see it's full of signatures. Haha. Well, this is what I do when I'm stuck on a song. I love to doodle! Besides, it's good practice for when I'm really famous. (Haha, just kidding!)
My favorite part of this is the signature in the middle... it's written in my favorite green gel-pen. It's really sparkly... hehe... It really pops out!
Okay, okay enough about that... I just got over excited... I wrote this new song. It's called
"The Memories We've Shared."
It's hard to let go, yea,
But now it's time for change.
It hurts more and more, yea,
But I'll end up okay...
I've been trying to pretend like I don't care,
And that it doesn't hurt.
But when I think about the memories,
It doesn't seem to work.
It seemed like a dream,
When it all worked out before.
It's breaking my heart,
That I have to let it all go.
But I have to think about the future,
And that maybe it's for the better,
But my mind traced back to the memories,
The memories we shared...
I don't like change,
But I can't stop it now.
If I could go back,
How would things turn out?
While I've been trying to face the truth,
That seems like a lie,
I was holding back all the tears,
Because I'm not gonna cry.
It seemed like a dream,
When it all worked out before.
It's breaking my heart,
That I have to let it all go.
But I have to think about the future,
And that maybe it's for the better,
But my mind traced back to the memories,
The memories we shared...
It easier to think about the happy things,
But it's harder when everything turns around.
I killing me inside,
I just have to let is pass by,
And think about what's in store...
It seemed like a dream,
When it all worked out before.
It's breaking my heart,
That I have to let it all go...
But I have to think about the future,
And that maybe it's for the better,
Everything will change,
Everything will go
But my mind will trace back to the memories,
The memories we shared...
Everything will change,
And everything will go,
Maybe it's for the better though...

My mind just keeps on coming up with crazy ideas...
I have a bunch of empty notebooks and I am trying to make use for them. I would write more songs, but here is the thing, I need to finish my current songbook. So, to make use for all the other notebooks I have, what should I do? Write a novel? Write more poetry? Doodle?
Now you're wondering, (or maybe not) why do I have so many empty notebooks in the first place? Well, I received them on my birthday, or some of them are just old, or I found some hidden in my room.
I decided on writing a novel. Why? Well, because every year for my new years resolution, I plan on writing a novel and editing and hoping that someday it will be published. And every year, I start writing and then I either forget about it or I just can't seem to think of a plot, ideas, ect...
GUESS WHAT?? I have now decided on trying (I said trying) to write a novel. I have come up with a plot, which I am working on expanding and turning in to... *drum roll please* A NOVEL!
Eeek!! Wish me good luck and I'll write about the plot as soon as I am done expanding on it... and once I make sure I won't ditch the plan this time... :]

Inspiration really does work...
I was flipping through channels and I came across this video for the song "Wouldn't Change a Thing" by Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas and it inspired me to write this song. :)
It feels like we've drifted far apart,
We barley talk each day,
And it hurts to think of it...
It feels like I don't know you anymore,
And I have to let this go.
It makes my mind spin around.
It doesnt make sense anymore...
Did this all have to wash away?
Couldn't it go back to the same?
I never thought it would be this way.
Now where are all your jokes?
Are they hanging by the rope?
The rope that I cannot reach.
I'm drowning in all of the memories.
It hurts to think of the past,
This all went by so fast,
And it's making me go back.
Everything seems different now,
It's not like how it used to be.
Every aspect of things have changed.
It doesnt make sense anymore...

Inside my heart.
Even though we drifted away...

Inside I feel lost,
But it's time for changes...

I FOUND A NEW OBSESSION!!
Well, I never realized this until now but I can write songs with my iPod touch. (yes, I have one... just like almost everyone has one nowadays...) See, I use my notes app and when I don't have my notebook with me, (which is almost impossible... but I am saying, WORST-CASE-SCENARIO) I use it to type my song. It not like I don't use my notes app, it's just that I never used it for writing my lyrics. It's a new fad! Haha :)
I am deeply sorry if that paragraph bored you but I get extremely excited by the littlest things. Now, maybe I wont have to keep my notebook with me everywhere... but I still like writing songs the old fashioned way- PAPER AND PENCIL. (or pen, perhaps?)
Here is another little thing that I got overly excited about...
MY INFLATABLE ELECTRIC GUITAR!!! YAY!!!
My best friend saw this little package of plastic and opened it up and found that it was supposed to be a guitar... so I decided to blow it up and see what it looks like. It looks pretty awesome. (If I do say so myself... haha)

There are days where I sit and sit... and come up with nothing.
This is one of those days.
Although, I spent last night writing a song up until 1:30 AM.
I'm not yet finished and I didn't come up with a title. I got mostly the first two verses done. I got distracted because I was listening to some music on my iPod and I had these super awesome sparkly gel pens and I started to doodle with them!! :D I have this page (or two) devoted entirely of doodles. :)
Because... if I get stuck on a song, then I can start to doodle. It keeps me thinking. (Hey, did you know that it's good to doodle? Haha. I wrote an essay about it... quite interesting...)
So, here it is.
"I've been thinking all day,
What's in my life.
I want to move forward,
But I go back in time.
Back to the past,
I want to fix my mistakes.
I know it wont happen,
So I learn each day.
I keep thinking about whats going on.
I need to think about moving on."
This is what I got so far and I hope I can finish it because I have a feeling it might end up being one of my best songs. ;)

Poetry... Guitars... what else?
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!
Anyways, let's talk about... um... ah ha! POETRY!!!
Poetry is quite similar to lyrics. They have syllables and beats and you can say them in any tune. That's where I get my lyrics from. Some of my lyrics have evolved from poems.
Writing poems may seem very hard for some people, but for others, (such as MOI) it's not that hard. You just need to practice and work on them.
Oh My Gosh! I have not played my guitar in so long! I cannot believe it! It seems like ages... I missed it so much. It has been like a week and a half or something like that. So today, I decided to get my guitar out and play it... and luckily I came up with chords and melodies for some of my old songs. I have to tell you, it wasn't easy. It took me a while but I am glad I accomplished that task... I wasn't procrastinating this time. Haha...
I'll post new songs soon. I hope I haven't been boring you yet. ;)

Just another night... just another post...
Apparently I don't have my song book with my at this moment (unfortunately) and I cannot think of a song at the top of my head.
My mind is empty...
I just thought I would post something because it had been a while.
How is everyone doing? I am doing great.
I am currently writing a lot of new songs and working on the background music.
I am still practicing my piano... and guitar... and of course... warming up my singing voice.
I just hope that I haven't bored you to death. Haha
I'll post new songs soon. :)

Talk. Just Plain Old Talk.
I realize that this is a blog, and I am not just going to fill this up with songs that might bore you to death. My songs just seem endless don't they? Well... I am here to talk. Yes. Just plain old talk.
Don't you just wonder when you listen to a song on the radio (or anywhere else) and you hear a song that relates to you? It's like the artist wrote that song specifically just for you. Creepy eh? I am just saying this because I always wonder about this...
Also, I love songs that make you think that they were totally written for you and they were meant for you. It makes me feel special. :)
Now, you may be thinking... "Why is she talking about all this mambo jumbo?" Well... I just didn't want to bore you with a lot of songs... although this is a blog about writing songs. Well, a blog is a blog. You can talk about pretty much anything and it doesn't matter what kind of blog it is. Besides, this is a music blog and I am talking about music... aren't I? Haha
Well, that's it for today... catch ya later!

Like No One Else Will Do
Oh... wow... It's been a while... oh well, I have been busy with life that I didn't have the time to post another song. I am sorry for posting really late. Well, now I have the time to do so. Here is a song called "Like No One Else Will Do." This is about my best friends.
Like No One Else Will Do
When you're all alone,
A friend will never let you down.
When you feel scared,
They'll help you turn it around.
When you have a plan
And it doesn't work out the way you wanted.
A friend will help you out,
And help you reach for the stars...
A true friend is there to give you all you need.
They're there for you if you just...
Believe,
That you have someone,
Who will never let you down... not even one time.
You have to realize,
That you can find.
A friend who will always be there for you.
Because they will love and care and see you,
Like no one else will do.
When you're far away,
A friend won't stop saying "I miss you."
When you want a hug,
There will be someone to give them to you.
A friend makes you strong.
And will cheer for you no matter what.
Whenever the chance comes,
They will be there waiting for you to shine.
A true friend is there to give you all you need.
They're there for you if you just...
Believe,
That you have someone,
Who will never let you down... not even one time.
You have to realize,
That you can find.
A friend who will always be there for you.
Because they will love and care and see you,
Like no one else will do.
True friends will be there to catch you when you fall...
(when you fall, when you fall)
Of all the good things upon the earth...
They're the best of all...
So just believe,
That you have someone,
Who will never let you down... not even one time.
You have to realize,
That you can find.
A friend who will always be there for you.
Because they will love and care and see you,
Like no one else will do.

Go Deep... Go Very Deep...
Having a bad day?
I've had those days too. I know, they're not fun.
Well... when I wrote this song, I was. It's called "Don't Say You're Sorry."
Enjoy.
Don't Say You're Sorry
I wont go back in time,
When you stole thing that were mine.
You sunk in and left scars in my heart.
They have been there from the start.
I don't really know why,
I wanted to fit in, to try.
All you did was make me feel bad.
And inside my heart is sad.
And I will remember,
Everything that you've done.
I will never forget,
What you said to everyone.
So don't say you're sorry,
Or try to follow me.
Don't say you're sorry,
Cause I wont let you be.
I didn't know what to do,
Being locked up in my room.
Crying sometimes helped me,
But it took me to the memories.
You said things again and again.
You stopped... until when?
Telling others I was wrong.
Made me end up writing this song.
And I will remember,
Everything that you've done.
I will never forget,
What you said to everyone.
So don't say you're sorry,
Or try to follow me.
Don't say you're sorry,
Cause I wont let you be.
You stood there, and I walked away.
There was nothing that I could say.
I am trying to leave everything behind...
But I will remember...
And I will remember,
Everything that you've done.
I will never forget,
What you said to everyone.
So don't say you're sorry,
Or try to follow me.
Don't say you're sorry,
Because I won't believe it...

I am completing a song... for the first time...
It is the first time I am completing a song that I worked on from before... so... I hope you like this song!!!
So many dreams lie within,
And they're broken, suddenly with a crash.
So many promises kept and made,
And they're broken, never meant to last.
So many wishes written,
And they're ripped up, shreaded into pieces.
So many times my heart wonders,
How my life turned out like this.
All my dreams left alone,
My hear has no where to go,
My wishes that are inside of me,
They dont fly without belief.
And if my heart is wishing,
I hope the stars are listening.
I realize...
That when I keep on dreaming,
I will keep on wondering,
About my life...
Thats passing by.
So many time I had to try,
And each time, it makes me feel stronger.
So many days pass by,
And my heart tries to move on.
So many dreams waiting to come true,
Will they ever? I hope they do.
So many time I keep thinking,
What does my heart wish for?
All my dreams left alone,
My hear has no where to go,
My wishes that are inside of me,
They dont fly without belief.
And if my heart is wishing,
I hope the stars are listening.

A bit of advice...
When writing songs... Don't be afraid to express how you feel. The more emotions you put into the song, the better it will be. Trust me, I know...
When you sing, put your heart and soul into the song. The powerful the voice, the better the music. Your voice will carry the lyrics a long way...
Songs are like stories... they tell you something. It could be a memory, experience a message, or lesson. So, if you listen carefully, you might just find it.
Its some advice that I just thought of and I thought I wanted to share it with you. I hope it comes in handy!

If My Heart Is Wishing
For some odd reason, I always write parts of songs and never a whole song at once. I few days ago, I wrote this song and I was trying my hardest to complete it. Aparentally, that didn't work out but I managed to write half of the song.
So many dreams lie within,
And they're broken, suddenly with a crash.
So many promises kept and made,
And they're broken, never meant to last.
So many wishes written,
And they're ripped up, shreaded into pieces.
So many times my heart wonders,
How my life turned out like this.
All my dreams left alone,
My hear has no where to go,
My wishes that are inside of me,
They dont fly without belief.
And if my heart is wishing,
I hope the stars are listening.
I realize...
That when I keep on dreaming,
I will keep on wondering,
About my life...
Thats passing by.
That's about it. Critique is appreciate. :)

Without You...
A long time ago I wrote the chorus of a song on a scrap piece of paper. Just recently, I found that scrap piece of paper mushed in one of my older songbooks...
I just thought I might share this song...
Without You
I hope, you feel the same way,
Missing me.
Maybe, you can imagine,
But you can’t see,
That my heart’s empty without you here,
I want you to be near
Being with you makes me feel so alive
Without you, I can’t survive.
It's about me missing my friends because I moved away from them.
Now that I found this... I might as well work on completing it...

PERFECTLY
I am sorry I haven't been on in a while... I was a bit too busy...
Well, now here I am... and more songs are on their way.
Here is a new song that I wrote recently... :)
PERFECTLY
First impressions make a big difference,
Of what other see.
You're able to see the outside,
Not the inside of me.
You just try to find who I am,
And not let me free,
It's hard to change myself,
When others believe...
That I have a perfect life...
Trust me, no I don't.
You think that...
I have no worries inside,
But you don't understand,
That I just keep trying,
To make my life what I want it to be.
I just wish that you could believe,
That I'm not living my life perfectly...
Sometimes you expect me to be so great,
It's hard to even try.
Every time I make a mistake,
You don't let it pass by.
You think I can do everything,
Do you know it's a lie?
I'm just starting to grow my wings,
And you're already making me fly...
You think that...
I have a perfect life,
Trust me, no I don't.
You think that...
I have no worries inside,
But you don't understand,
That I just keep trying,
To make my life what I want it to be.
I just wish that you could believe,
That I'm not living my life perfectly...
Perfectly... Perfectly...
I'm not living my life... Perfectly...
It's hard to change myself,
When others believe...
That I have a perfect life,
Trust me, no I don't.
You think that...
I have no worries inside,

The Start...
I was checking my blog and I had a question in my head. "How did I start to song-write?" I think it's just something that I developed an interest in. My best friends (who happen to be very talented and amazing singers) inspired me. I wrote a poem and one of my friends started to sing it for some odd reason. I just have one question for you. Would you care to read a poem? Poerty helps me with my songs and for some future songwriters, (such as myself) this tip might come in handy.
Lost in My Imagination
I am lost in my imagination,
In the land of my dreams,
I am lost, but I can find my way,
Every time I believe.
I am lost every time I wish,
I wish for this to never end,
I am following my heart’s desire,
Just like, it was my best friend.
I am lost because I reach,
I reach up high,
I will catch my dream,
Every time I try.
I am lost in a universe,
In a place where I belong,
A place where I can escape,
So I can sing all day long.
I am lost because I am dreaming,
Dreaming for my wishes to come true,
When I am in my own little world,
I am thinking of you.

1, 2, 3, 4 Goodbye
Goodbye,
The last words we said,
Before summer came.
I know this won't last,
Everything will change.
We will go our seperate ways,
But listen to me once, today.
One, two, three, four, goodbye,
Five, six, seven, eight, nine,
These moments will come to an end,
Time is ticking faster again and again.
We couldn't change it if we tried,
We couldn't go back in time.
I'm counting 'till the end...
One, two, three, four, goodbye,
Five, six, seven, eight, nine,
We'll be on our own now,
After we depart,
We will hope for the best,

But the memories will never be gone.

Trying to be free...
I'm taking the time to realize,
That I'm stuck in a sad song.
I'm making sure we don't fall,
I just have to move on,
I'm fed up with the things I do,
And all of my mistakes.
Every time I'm alone,
My heart starts to break.
I feel that,
Life's just a tag along,
Its just gonna follow me.
I just want to find myself,
Living happily.
Its my time, to realize,
That this isn't a perfect world.
I just want find myself,
Realizing who I'm supposed to be.
I'm stuck in the middle,
I don't know which side.
I feel I can't suceed,
But I put up with it and try.
I try to figure out,
Where my life is taking me,
The truth of the matter id,
Its not that easy.

I keep moving on,
But the memories stay.
It seems so hard,
But I have to move to a new place.
Inside my mind,
I hope to see,
That I can try,
I go back to the memories.
My world ahead is flying...
Flying over me...
I feel like I'm slowing down,
And I'm stuck in the shadows.
I feel like I'm spinning around,
And I cannot follow...
Because my mind is empty,
And its hard to define,
Who I am,
Right inside...
*I could not think of the rest of the song... but I hope I can work with it and continue on with it...
But the memories stay.

Music-in-Writing...
Now, you may be wondering how I got the name for this blog "Music in Writing?" RIGHT??? Well, if you're not, there will be a song on you're way, don't worry... this post isn't about how I made a name for this blog...
It wasn't easy to think of a name for this blog... I mean it was easy but you have to check if its available, appropriate, and actually come up with a name!!! My blog is about music, songwriting, and writing... songwriting is a combination of music and writing... also Music as wrting... so for some apparent reason, I named this Music in Writing...
I know I must have bored you with two useless paragraphs... so now here comes the fun part... the song.
I watched THE LIGHTNING THIEF today and I thought of the chorus of a song... Its just about showing who you really are. I honestly don't know how those lyrics came in my head but they natrually came to me... so here we go...
Why does it have to be so hard?
To be who I want to be...
Why can't I just stay strong?
And let you see whats inside of me...
Nobody told me,
It was going to be that easy...
To describe...
To describe who I am inside...

I know, I know...
It's been a while since I have posted another post... or a song for that matter. I am so sorry. Anyway, I found an old song in my song book and I though I might share it.
~FLY~
Walking alone,
With a dream to come true.
Just being invisible
Everyone sees through.
And she tried, to blend in
But she could only stand out.
And she didn’t know to turn it around.
She had no idea,
For what she has done.
The scars ran deep in her heart.
Being punished from the start.
She was scared
To come out of her shell.
Wanting to feel great inside.
All she wanted to do was fly.
Singing to her own tunes,
Her heart full of soul.
Just couldn’t figure out,
How to reach her goal.
And she tried, to blend in,
But no one would give her a try.
Leaving her alone to cry.
She had no idea,
For what she has done.
The scars ran deep in her heart.
Being punished from the start.
She was scared
To come out of her shell.
Wanting to feel great inside.
All she wanted to do was fly.
She didn’t ask for much.
And she’s being punished for being herself.
She didn’t want help. And she is already being pinned down
For being like no one else.
She had no idea,
For what she has done.
The scars ran deep in her heart.
Being punished from the start.
She was scared
To come out of her shell.
Wanting to feel great inside.
All she wanted to do was fly.

Valentines Day!!!
Unfortunately, I have Writer's Block. For those of you who don't know what Writer's Block is, it's just when you just can't seem to write. You don't have any ideas or lyrics in your head. That's all.
If I didn't have Writer's Block, I would have tried to write a new song. Maybe something in the theme for Valentines Day. How can I write a Valentines Day song with no experience what-so-ever??? I usually write songs about experiences. I could just listen to other songs and get inspiration from those songs. I am not sure.
Wish me luck and hope my Writer's Block wears out.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!

Figured it would be time to get off my lazy bum...
So two nights ago, I woke up and I came up with a whole song. I woke up at around 2:00AM. I turned my light on and started writing frantically. If I didn't write it, I would have never remembered it!!! That happens to me a lot. I sometimes get too lazy to get out of my bed and start writing that in the morning, I FORGET!!!! Most of the songs that I write in the middle of the night are usually my best ones. Who would want to forget one of their best songs?!?!?! So thats why I decided that from now on, when I think of a song, I will write it down. (whether or not if I am tired or not)
And speaking of the topic of waking up in the middle of the night...
I CAN'T SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you realize how hard it is to sleep when you have so many thoughts inside your head?!?!?!?!?! I think of songs, flashbacks, favorite memories, dancing gorillas.(yes, dancing gorillas... I dont know what I ate that day... don't judge me)
It's the easiest way to write songs.(well, thats what I think)
Anyway, I just wanted to show you all my collection of notebooks. I collect a lot of things and I don't even know it! Tanktops, nailpolishes, pens, and now, notebooks. My friends think I have a lot, I don't know about you...
Well, now you can also see some of my favorite books. haha (as I said before... SOME of them)

I'm sorry... but I'm obsessed...
GUITARS!!!! Ok, so my whole life isn't revolved around with guitars, but I have a guitar, guitar pen (yes, it's a pen shaped like a guitar), a mini guitar clock.
Many people are obsessed with many things. I have some friends who are obsessed with basketballl. I also know some friends who love to dance all the way. My life is revolved around music. Music, singing, playing guitar and piano... you name it. Music is my passion... I love my passion...
Today I am having a writers block... sort of. I can think of lines of a song but I can't put the lines together. They don't make sense. Oh well, I hope the writer's block will end soon and I can actually write some songs. :)

Creative Thoughts
Do you ever wonder where a songwriter keeps all of his/or her songs? Do they keep the songs in a notebook? On a laptop? On a scrap piece of paper? Where? Where? Where? Personally, I think keeping a notebook is handy. Many songwriters (and writers in general) use a notebook but some perfer other items. (laptops, scrap paper... ect)
My song notebook isn't the neatest notebook in the world. Its full of ideas, doodles, "autographs", and of course, lyrics. Some pages of the notebook are REALLY neat. I mean, REALLY neat that it scares me. Sometimes its just plain messy. Ususally my best songs are messy because I keep on editing them over and over and over again. Then again, the songs that are written really neatly are also pretty good. Here is a page from my songbook.
See what I mean? THIS is what I call messy. The song is "Different Kind of Perfect" (which has already been posted on the blog)
Some pages are a bit NEATER...
DON'T JUDGE ME!!! My printing is normally neater. For some odd reason, I like to keep my songbook messy... it brings character.
PS- Normally, I would have freaked if I saw myself posting some pages of my songbook onto this blog... but I decided it would at least make the blog a tinsey bit more interesting... don't you agree??? :D
P.S.S- On the first song... the song is pretty much on one page... on the second song, I just posted the first side of the page, the song is double sided.

Something that I Just Came Up With....
Hey everybody!
I am just listening to some music... and now I got an idea for a chorus.
I just came up with it so I hope you like it.
I can't open my heart with a care,
Without knowing I'll get hurt.
I can't reach out my hand out there,
Without knowing I'll be pulled,
Inside a trap,
I don't know where I'm at.
Feels like a dream,
A dream thats scaring me.
I am not completely sure what I should call this so if you have any ideas, please comment and please comment on what you think of the song. Thanks and I hope you like this!
P.S- I am not so sure about the last two lines "Feels like a dream, a dream thats scaring me." I might change it or just keep it.

To all of the Aspired Singers in the World...
I am so sorry that I haven't posted another post in a long time. I was caught up in school and in my life...
I was just watching American Idol and I just wanted to say...
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO MADE IT PAST THE AUDITIONS!!!!
I hope that someday I could be on American Idol. (or a singing competition for that matter) Its amazing to see so many people who enjoy what I like to do. If its singing, writing, playing guitar or just plain music. I bet they were scared to face the judges. Of course they were. They have so much courage to face the judges and show what they've got. I can't wait ot see who wins and all of the other episodes of American Idol... Good Luck to all...
I came up with a verse of a new song and am working on the rest. I will post all of it soon. I am not sure what its called yet. I would appreciate it if you would maybe comment on it and tell me what you think of it. Thanks! :D
"I talked to my friends to get you out of my head
But you popped in again and again,
Wondering if, what you were thinking then,
I really don’t know.
Sometimes I wish you could even see,
The fire that’s burning inside of me.
Can’t you even let me have some peace?
I know you won’t…"
This is all I have. PLEASE tell me what you think.
Thats all I can say for today... over and out! haha! :P

Experiences
I like to write about personal experiences as well as writing about what happens to my friends and family. I mostly write about personal experiences because its easier. You would only know how YOU would feel... not how someone else feels...
Sometimes writing about friends can be interesting because you are trying to relate to them. You want to know what its like to be in their position. Here is a song about a personal experience.
Not Gonna Fall Again
For whatever you’ve done,
I’m trying to ignore the pain.
People take sides,
Whether to lose or gain.
When I looked at you, you seemed so nice,
But when I go inside, It’s not a pretty sight.
*chorus*
I’m not gonna fall again,
I’ll get stronger when,
You say all these things,
That you don’t want me to hear.
I’m not gonna fall again.
I would have done that then,
But I’ll never, ever,
Drop down in front of you.
Now everything changes,
I hope things move on,
Don’t want these memories to come back
So please be gone.
When I was with you, I followed your lead,
When you kicked me out, I tried not to plead.
*chorus*
I’m sick and tired of all these things
Look at what I’ve been
Stop wondering,
Look with your eyes.
I'm being hurt all this time
I’m not gonna fall again,
I’ll get stronger when,
You say all these things,
That you don’t want me to hear.
I’m not gonna fall again.
I would have done that then,
But I’ll never, ever,
Drop down in front of you.
This song is about not trying to fall down and not being afraid from being picked on and from being hurt. You are not gonna fall and run away from your fears. This is sort of a motivation to stand up to whoever is picking on you. I hope whoever is "listening" or "reading" this will remember to be strong and stand up for themselves and for others.

Without You.
I know, you feel the same way,
Just missing me.
I know, you can’t imagine,
You can’t see,
That my heart’s empty without you here,
All I want is for you to be near
Being with you makes me feel so alive
Without you, I can’t survive.
This is the chorus of a song that I am currently working on. I don't know exactly what its about. (maybe its about missing someone or not being able to survive without someone... like a friend) I just came up with it. I'll try to add on to it. ☺

Mirror
I just made up the chorus of a new song... I am still working on the rest of the song but here it is:
Mirror
Tell me honestly,
Who I’m meant to be?
Why does the mirror always lie?
Is it that hard to see?
My personality, shine through…
But the mirror won’t tell me.
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? You just see your reflection. You don't see your personality, or who you are inside. Its hard for everyone to understand the real you. Thats what this song is about.
*Critique is Appreciated*

Taylor Swift...
ALL HAIL TAYLOR SWIFT! HAHA...
I love her! She is one of my idols!!!! An amazing singer, beautiful songwriter and role model all around... I love her songwriting skills! I usually get my inspiration listening to her. Although she is country-pop, and I usually listen to more pop/rock, her lyrics are very inspirational. I was listening to her song "White Horse" and I was also listening to "Crazier." They both made me want to cry. I don't know what got to me. I wasn't bawling like a baby, but I had some tears come out of my eyes. Maybe it reminded me of my best friends, buy why did I cry at "White Horse?" That had nothing to do with my friends! The lyrics were so emotional and moving.
It's amazing what songwriters can do. They make their audiences feel what the writer feels. The song can relate to the audience. I hope that someday, I will be able to move my audience and make them understand what I feel. As well as relate to them.

Just another Dream...
Okie- dokie... here we go...
Like many people in this world, I have dreams. (Are we allowed to have more than one?!?! HAHA) One of the dreams is to have an album... or in other words, I want to be a singer-songwriter. I have a whole bunch of notebooks full of lyrics and poetry... here is a song... enjoy! :)
Fly
Walking alone,
With a dream to come true.
Just being invisible
Everyone sees through.
And she tried, to blend in
But she could only stand out.
And she didn’t know to turn it around.
*chorus*
She had no idea,
For what she has done.
The scars ran deep in her heart.
Being punished from the start.
She was scared
To come out of her shell.
Wanting to feel great inside.
All she wanted to do was fly.
Singing to her own tunes,
Her heart full of soul.
Just couldn’t figure out,
How to reach her goal.
And she tried, to blend in,
But no one would give her a try.
Leaving her alone to cry.
*chorus*
She had no idea,
For what she has done.
The scars ran deep in her heart.
Being punished from the start.

To come out of her shell.
Wanting to feel great inside.
All she wanted to do was fly.
She didn’t ask for much.
And she’s being punished for being herself.
She didn’t want help.
And she is already being pinned down
For being like no one else.

Well... that's it. It's mainly about a girl (think of this girl as me) and she is different from everyone else. She has different interests, hopes, dreams and she feels like she stands out from the rest. This is typically how I feel most of the time. I know that many people out there in the world know how I feel. Sometimes you want to stand out, but you are just too shy to bring out the REAL you.
P.S- I know you don't know the tune... I understand, but I hope you like the lyrics!

Friends!
I was listening to Demi Lovato's Song "Gift of A Friend." I love that song, it reminds me of my best friends. The meaning of that song is that whatever your friends do, you will find the value of them anyways. They are there for you no matter what. When the song first came out in the summer, I was obsessed! Mainly because it related to me. I then got some ideas. I wrote a song called "Different Kind Of Perfect". I just posted the chorus... so... here it is!
Different Kind of Perfect
To meet someone as perfect as you,
Is something so reletively new,
And I'll have to be able to see,
If the real you will shine in front of me,
So I'll open my eyes,
And start to define,
If I keep on trying,
I'll be sure to find...
The different kind of perfect in you...
I wrote this song about my friends. They are crazy, funny, outgoing, caring and awesome! The message behind this chorus is that it doesn't matter if you are "perfect" or if you are not. Everyone is perfect and different in their own way. what matters is that you stay yourself and true in front of me. As the "artist" or the writer of the song, this is what I feel, but you guys can relate to this too.

The instrument...and paper, and pen... maybe a laptop...
I am in love with my guitar... I don't know what I could do without it. I used to write lyrics without my guitar... thats true, but now I feel it's a big help. It's so much easier to create a tune for the song... and it makes your song come to life. It is helpful when you want to "test" your song out and play it. When Iwas younger, i used to think playing the guitar was "cool" and "easy". To tell you the truth, it does seem "cool" to some people. I hate to break your bubble but playing the guitar is not "super easy". Playing some notes and chords are easy but sometimes its not. Just remember... PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. At first, I did not know how to play the guitar at all. Now, I am not a pro, or the best but I am at least decent enough that I can play a bunch of chords and notes and songs. Its a whole lot of fun to create your own songs and tunes though. Pianos come in handy too... mainly for the same reasons... playing the piano is fun too. :D
Papar and pen... ahhhhhhh... what would all writers have done without you? HAHA. Besides paper and pen, we have laptops to write anything. Stories, documents and even lyrics! Writing it all down, thats how we remember and record it. They are both portable so if you are not at home, just take your notebook and/or your laptop just in case you get some inspiration. I usually take my notebook anywhere. You never know what can race through your mind. Sometimes, I make up some lyrics and I don't have a paper or pen and suddenly BAM! I forget it. Darn! So make sure you dont forget a "future hit" It has happened to may a lot and trust me, you'll regret it.
In that little brain of yours...
You can express your feelings and emotions in any way; drawing, writing, singing, dancing... just about anything. I like to write. I like writing anything; from stories, to poetry but my passion is music. I love writing and music. To find a way to mix it together, I write lyrics. Writing lyrics is a lot of fun and its a way to get your feelings out. What is in your brain? Are you thinking of someone? Do you miss someone or something? Are you happy or sad? What are you feeling? You can put all that in a song and still make it sound good. Its easy to get your inspiration too. Listen to different kinds of music or take ideas from your friends. You can WRITE about your friends if you want. Its all up to the songwriter.
Now, you may be wondering... do you HAVE to sing to write songs? No. You don't. Personally, I like to sing too. Its a lot of fun, but you can just write songs. Now, what fun is it to write songs if someone doesn't get to sing them? You could have your friends sing them. Ask a family member. You don't even need anyone to sing them if you don't want to.
Lyrics are like poerty, some lines rhyme, others don't. There may be a certain amount of syllables in a line. In songs, there are verses. Poerty have verses too. (A.K.A. stanzas) If you write a poem, it can be easily converted into a song. Have a tune or beat. Add a chorus. Its up to the writer.
I wouldn't say that writing lyrics is the easiest thing to do... sometimes you get stuck on a line, other times, you can come up with a whole song in less than 7 minutes! It may be easier to come up with a tune than the lyrics or its easier to come up with the lyrics than the tune. There is just one thing that you should remember... (maybe I should remind myself too...) There is a message behind every song. Pretty much every song has a way to relate to everyone. When I write a song, I sometimes think about how it relates to me or how it relates to someone I know. The song may also relate to the listener too. =)
