Forever Misunderstood

Hi guys... sorry about the recent string of depressive posts... even though it's spanned a few months or more. Perhaps that really is a part of my character.... or blame it on the PMS...

Well, I wrote my first song lyrics today... though it's not quite a song, and not quite a poem. Not something I would normally do, since I can't write music to accompany it... though I had a certain rhythym in mind.

Anyway, yeah, it's not a happy piece... as if you'd expect that from me eh? =P

What is left to say
When your truth has been spoken
And all you hear from your friends
Is scoffing, mocking, bemusement?
Do you walk away?
Live to fight another day?
Concede defeat and hide away?

I say "No!" Why should it be
That my heart be broken?
Discouraged, yet again torn open
Must it always end this way?
With my weary soul out on display
And yet forever, still misunderstood

What is left to feel?
When your ways are questioned
And it is from your friends
That tired sighs and whispers seep
What else will it take?
Is there more yet left to break?
Only to give and not to take?

I say "No!" Why should it be
That my heart be broken?
Discouraged, yet again torn open
Must it always end this way?
With my weary soul out on display
And yet forever, still misunderstood

Please, no more contention.
Aren't you listenin'
No more false hopes
No more empty words
Forget all those dreams
Don't be absurd!
No more complaining
Or explanations
I tell you now
Just forget everything
All I've said up 'til now
Forget everything
It's all foolishness somehow...

I yell "No!" Why should it be
That I am forsaken
Disheartened, yet again left aching
Must it always end this way?
There's nothing of worth left here to say
In this lifetime, misunderstood
I'll be forever, just misunderstood

yeh it certainly doesn't sound like what you normally write - which is more eloquent and cryptic :)
wow welcome to the new age with "listenin" - rapish/colloquial :P

but it still flows nicely with chorus :)

i was reading about how to write songs today.. it says to have a catchy simple chorus with a bridge at the end

haha... I'm not a big fan of rap =P

Thanks Vincy, I'm glad you liked my previous pieces. hehe... normally cryptic because I'm saying something about my life that I don't necessarily want people to know the details of.

I like your new piece Son.

Maybe because I can hear its cry out in melodic notes. Can imagine it as a song more than a poem to be honest.

Its good to see you workin gout your thoughts and feelings in creativity... its somewhat theraputic i find.

Btw, got your email :) I will write soon. Thank you.
