Not afraid

Today I have no regrets
As to how I lived my life
Now I’m plunging down into a nightmare
I’m not afraid

The phoenix comes up beside me
It offers to save me
I push it aside and continue to fall
As I am not afraid

Fear is nothing
Fear is merely a cover pulled over our eyes
By our mind
To stop us seeing the world that is really there

Once you see what we are being protected from
The fear of everything is lost
Your life is lived in a way that should not be lived
A world of anarchy slavery and the dead
But I am still not afraid

Hey look it’s a schizophrenic psycho
He’s coming for me with a knife in his hand
I don’t know when or how he’s going to get me
I still feel no fear of this nightmare

The light beams across my eyes
I wake with a simple and un-frightened sigh
I take a look to my side
All is how it used to be familiar and clean

But I feel a light breeze
I look to my other side and see a world of destruction and war
Today I DO have regrets as to how I lived my life
Today I am afraid.

thanks keep writing

That song was amazing. Honestly, it had so much meaning, and so much potential. It really touched my heart. It looks like you put a lot of time into that, and just think, if you didn't imagine how BEAUTIFUL it would be if you did!
Keep writing, you never know what will happen!

Her hair was up in a pony-tail,
her favorite dress tied in a bow.
Today was Daddy's day at school,
and she couldn't wait to go.
But her Mommy tried to tell her,
that she should probably stay home.
Why the kids might now understand,
if she went to school alone.
But she was not afraid.
She knew just what to say.
What to tell her
classmates, of why he wasn't there.
But still her Mother worried,
for her to face this day alone.
And that is why once again,
she tried to keep her daughter home.
But the little girl went to school,
eager to tell them all,
about the Dad she never sees,
a Dad who never calls.
You tell me, is this a Dad?

i have been busy writing this song tell me what you think

Little star.

Even though I’m gone
I feel I’m hanging on
Right were I belong
You watched me come
Now your watching me go

One day I’ll be able to come back
And see you for so ever long
I’ll hold onto you
I wont ever let go
Even though we both know
It will be time to set off once again

I look at the stars
They help me hang on
If only I didn’t take the gamble
Had to bet it all
Bet it all
Even though I had to go
You should know
Your all I think about

The light is creeping in once again
Its time to let go
yes I know
You have to live your day thinking of me
But not being able to see me

How was I supposed to know
He had the blade of darkness
Concealed within
It left me with more than a scar
It left me without you

The stars come by you
You clutch my hand tight
You rest your lips on my head
But I’m already looking down on you
From my star high above

My grip has slipped
I have left you
I know I was hanging on
But know I’m gone
This is where I belong

I’m sorry that I missed your final call
But one day we will meet again
We will be building walls together
In the land of no shadows
On our own little star
Free of pain and scars…

Monita Bonita · 01-31-2009, 10:21 PM

That's absolutely amazing.
I haven't written a song lately, I wrote the one above, like 2 years ago.
You really should publish them.

angels

The angels hover above us
As we lie on the on our backs
Side by side
Under the stars
Those angels keep looking down on us
They make sure you keep your innocence
To make sure it all goes the way fate planned it
The way fate planned us

In the corner of my eye
I see you turn
To face me
I glance across towards you
Your eyes they lock with mine
I cant pull away
But I wont let it go to waste
Its like I’m floating up in the darkness
Your everything I need
I cant pull my eyes from your beauty
This is my reward

You simply smile and look back at the stars of the summer
You begin your hymn of love
Time passes on
My love for you gets greater with every word you sing
The perfection in your voice
The complexity of your mind its like nobody else
My feelings for you are un-parallel

The angels hover above us
As we lie on the on our backs
Side by side
Under the stars
Those angels keep looking down on us
They make sure you keep your innocence
To make sure it all goes the way fate planned it
The way fate planned us

You get up and walk away
You look back
You don’t want to forget
But you know things wont work the way fate planned us
The angels just cant stop what you know is right for you

You know where you belong
Just hanging on
Even though
Angels hover so

The angels fall
They take the hope with them
The fate gets crushed under
Under your life.

enjoy

Today was Daddy's day at school, and she couldn't wait to go. But her Mommy tried to tell her, that she should probably stay home. Why the kids might now understand, if she went to school alone. But she was not afraid. She knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates, of why he wasn't there. But still her Mother worried, for her to face this day alone.
