What I'm Thankful For

I hope that everyone's Thanksgiving was amazing and that they enjoyed the time with family. This post will cover only a few of the things I'm thankful for this year.

Family/Friends- 

 I am super thankful for all the family and friends I have for supporting me and just dealing with me on a day to day bases. More specifically I'm thankful for all my younger cousins, my nieces, and my nephews for letting me mess around with you and be a kid again. I love all of you guys and I don't know what I'd do without you. I am thankful that I have friends that worry about me when they don't have to and that they try their best to help me when I struggle with stuff. Thank you so much.

Music- 

 I've always loved music and it's a big part of who I am. I'm grateful that I get to be a part of our choir department and that I get to spend so much time doing what I enjoy with people I get along with. Since I have started writing lyrics I'm thankful for all the music artist have made because it influences me to write and I hope that I will continue to write and get feedback on this blog.

My Life- 

 This one is a really broad category and overlaps the other two but I have to say this in broad that I am grateful and thankful for the way my life is. I get to do things I enjoy and I never feel like I have no one or nothing. I have great friends and family and my life is relatively peaceful with drama here or there. I sometimes take this for granted and this year I really thought about It because my Thanksgiving was one of the best I've had in years.

Thanks for reading and I am now working on a third and the idea for a fourth is floating around in my head. All release the lyrics for the third one by next week. 

Second Song Draft: Killing Me Slowly

Alright. This is my second song and I'm hoping to get feedback like last time. I really appreciated all the comments I got on the last song so I wanted to post my second one the very next week so if this feels rushed that's my excuse but enjoy.

You knew what would happen didn’t you, you could have stopped it all if you wanted to. (wanted to)

you had to much fun standing in the middle of our war but now it's either side that stands to lose because you couldn't choose.

You're playing with my heart baby can't you see.

Pull a string here, clip a string there, now I'm falling through thin air screaming I love you.

You make me want to stay while you're pushing me away, killing me slowly, killing me slowly.

You make me want to stay while I watch you walk away, killing me slowly, killing me slowly.

And it's not like you don’t want me, It's just that you don’t love me. Because if you did there'd be no need for him. But I’m just here to fill in the hole in your heart that he leaves never to be your one and only.

You’re playing with my heart baby can't you see.

Pull a string here, clip a string there, now I'm falling through thin air screaming I love you. (I love you)

You make me want to stay while you're pushing me away killing me slowly, killing me slowly.

You make me want to stay while I watch you walk away killing me slowly killing me slowly.

You’re killing me slowly killing me slowly and now I see I was never meant to play this game never meant to win the war….. The war called love.

First Song Draft: Shot In the Dark

          So this is one of the songs I've wanted to write. It's the first draft that I've shown anybody and as of now its just lyrics. I do have an idea of how I want to sing it but no music or anything like that. On that note, if anyone knows a good music maker app that's free please tell me in the comments. Also, I want your feedback so if you think it's bad to tell me why. If you think its good but think it needs something tell me. I welcome all feedback because that's the point of showing people a draft. 

I fell for you the moment I saw your eyes.

I couldn’t breathe I was paralyzed.

I didn’t know what to say but I knew that I couldn’t do nothing.

I wanted to get closer to you, so I decided to take a leap of faith; ask you your name, ask for your number and hope for the best….

I’m begging for things to be all right, I’m hoping to get through the way I’m feeling for you. And I’m praying for a time when you could be mine.

…. I took my shot shot shot in the dark, hoping everything wouldn't break apart. Cause I’m aiming straight for your heart and I hope I don’t miss because I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t see you.

Baby I know you won’t believe me when I say let me make, a shot in the dark.

Baby I don’t know what I’m feeling when I watch you walk away but if I let you go all regret it every single day... So turn around I’m begging you. Just give me a shot and all come through. I don't know if what I’m feeling is love but it’s not something I’m going to let go of.

I”ll take my shot shot shot in the dark hoping everything doesn’t fall apart. Cause I’m aiming straight for your heart. And I’m praying, and begging that I hit my mark. Cause I don’t know what I'd do if I… I don’t know what you’d do…. I fell for you and I’m still falling …. And I'm gonna take my, take my, gonna take my shot shot shot in the dark. Hope I don’t miss your heart; hope I leave a mark.

Cause I'm afraid of what I'd feel inside if I had to watch you walk away. Now it’s too late, the shots been fired, shots been fired now, shots been fired. Shots been fired away.
