Grats on getting your own songwriting journal. If you wanna post any other songs, just do it in this thread!
Your song strikes me as incredibly teen angsty. It's like it's a message to your mom about how she's always treated your sister better and now you're so fed up with it you feel like cutting yourself. I can't relate to that and I can't say I like it .. But I'm trying to be constructive. How about using some metaphors or add a little more lyrical quality? You know, make something that would sound nice if you sung it or paint some pictures with your words.

Loves reality (lyrics)
Loves reality
i think ive got to let you go set you free from my heart ive got to stop thinking about you ive got to stop dreaming for you and i dont know why you've got this effect on me when i see you my heart skips a beat and im wandering why wandering why got to come back to reality got to open my eyes and see whats really going on got to come out of my world got to face that your not mine and see your not in love with me i wander if you see how much i love you i wander if you know how much i care i need you to know the truth about it and the truth of my heartache the truth of my heartache got to come back to reality got to open my eyes and see whats really going on got to come out of my world got to face that your not mine and see your not in love with me |

Love is a topic that needs few words to describe. If you add any more words, you have to be able to write like Cohen himself (writer of Hallelujah, Suzanne etc.). This is just one of those cases in which you have to be careful in what you say. I think the perfect example of a song along the same message as yours is Jon Foreman's 'My Love Goes Free'.
Although not in the same exact context as your song, he uses some very good, if not sometimes underused metaphors involved. Look up popular metaphors that follow along the same meaning as your song. The caged bird metaphor Jon uses is very applicable in this situation. Hope that helps you |
