We all face our own demons We all hold a different perception And we all see something distorted When we catch our own reflection We all lead different lives We all have our own struggle Then we all appear content Because the emotions we show are subtle We all pretend we’re not these people We all feel this indefensible But if we all can’t accept ourselves Then we’ll never learn we’re not dispensable
No, unfortunately, this is not a new poem. I have been struggling with writer’s block most of this year, but I haven’t given up on my passion! I once took a few years off from regularly writing, and I don’t intend to do that again. The year is passing so quickly, so I thought I would share an update with my now 64 followers! Thank you all, for all of your support! In the meantime, I have been trying to focus on new experiences and other passions to inspire myself.
First, I started the year with the decision to donate my hair!
I got to see my most listened to artist of 2018 in concert, Chelsea Cutler. I also saw myself in her Snapchat story afterward (points to you if you find me)!
After obsessing over the soundtrack, specifically, Burn, I saw Hamilton!
I did some volunteer work, and helped install a bench at a new park!
Lastly, I got to meet up with some friends from out of town for my birthday!
As I’ve previously mentioned, I also turn to music for inspiration. These have been my top favorite songs of this year:
Lui Peng – Just Go
Flume – Friends
Terror Jr – Terrified
Cole Messey – Not Over
Overall, my year has been going well! I hope to start producing some new content – so I don’t overwhelm you all with my old poetry drenched in teen angst! Stay tuned!
She’s sitting there alone and waiting
This world’s just something so degrading
And she’s lost
Confused
Misplaced
Been used
And she cannot find her place
So she’s losing it
All she has is gone
And she’s fading
Today will be the day she loses you
And every time she hears your name
She holds it in thinking she’s the one to blame
So she’s angry
Forgetting
Holding in
And regretting
And she cannot find her face
In the mirror anymore
All she has is gone
And she’s fading
Today will be the day she misses you
She knows this will always have her heart
But she is ready to restart
She was lost
Confused
Misplaced
Was used
And she could not find her place
She was losing it
All she had was gone
She was fading
Today was the day she lost you
So she’s lonely
Forgetting
Holding in
And accepting
But she cannot find her place
In this world anymore
All she had is gone
But she’s growing
Today is the day she’s moving on
My old neighbor (Dan) and I occasionally worked on music together. One day he was struggling to come up with lyrics for a song he was working on, sent me this clip, and this was what I sent him back.
