My Poetic Odyssey

Hey!! So for this piece, I was searching for some songwriting prompts when I saw this- I was excited beyond description or reason about this and instantly thought of Annabeth from Percy Jackson and the Olympians!!! Of course her story is very complicated though, so I broke it up a bit and wrote about her childhood first- under the protection of Luke and Thalia... So here goes: Under their wing Hiding from her demons They follow her to sleep They're crawling round her all night It's way too hard to keep Her mind in place The smile on her face Her problems encased No one to embrace But she's still first in the race She tried so hard to stay strong But that wasn't enough Ran away to make things right Monsters they follow close behind Oh but she's damn tough She found her haven in two guardians Walked through hell together, but it was elysium Cuz they were her everything A perfect family they built He said for her he'd do anything But when they found hom...

Hi, I'm back with more :) enjoy- They tell you life is sunshine and rainbows and building happiness Then you grow up, do homework call good grades success You're not alone, you've got them all, but they're just a hateful jealous mess And here I am lost, in a deep thought full of emptiness I live in this maze they call life, holding my breath Too scared to let it go, lay down my guard and I fail this test These turns they're exhausting but if I stop I welcome death To survive truly in this maze, you need grit and power, not wealth Ahah ahah aha I don't want to fall into this pit of deception But ahah ahah aha I now realise that it's an easier perception They have power and make speeches We find glamour in their screeches Get mesmerised even by their cruel hatred Ignore the wails and their hunger while we lie on beaches They're liars, them rule the world Despite betrayal They get admired, we inhale their words Us gullible people Then they tell you money is...

 Hey! I've actually been working on this one for quite a while now because I just needed to cover a lot of areas here and get a lot of inspiration. Anyway, I'm finally done! Hope you love it- There's a part of me that wishes to be free Gallop like a horse in the open fields Find my wave, 'cause life's a beach And be by myself for sometime to breathe I've got a boulder on my shoulder and it won't budge I'm kinda tired and people are quick to judge Do my best to keep 'em happy, keep myself intact But I've learnt it's not 'bout who you impress but who you impact I look in the distance, I'm not bothered at all By closed doors, blocked windows, unsurmountable walls I don't see them, they're just excuses to never fall But if you don't, you'll not ever stand as tall 'Cause strength comes from lifting yourself up every time you fall down  And they say - If your dreams don't scare you they are too small So I'll shin...

 Hey guys!!! I tried a story today, I hope you all love it, especially the Percy Jackson fans- Leo is still asking me to brush off the piece of gum stuck on his mane! I think lions do have too much pride; even I have hay all over my lovely feathers and scratches on my belly, but I'm not complaining. Well, that makes the two of us. We all live in a zoo truck that reaches out to gloat about kindness and animal love. So much animal love that they trapped a lion, zebra, goat, 2 kangaroos (smuggled from Australia) and a bird, the prettiest in the world, from Mozambique, in cages and in the very same zoo truck. Well, the bird is me and we don't get much of anything -  food, love, care, cleanliness! nothing! Every time the back door opened, I flew with all my might, but due to the lack of exercise on my wings, I always fell back down. However, I still always tried. The kangaroos and Leo the lion, on the other hand, had given up. Zion the zebra and Gogo the goat wanted freedom, but la...

Today was my mum's birthday and I just wanted to write something special for her from deep within my heart... For mum You're my comfort, my number one If you're happy, then shines the sun All my resilience and determination, strength and motivation, it's yours through and through If the world turns away from me, all I have to do is turn to you My support, my guide You gave me the courage to take a stride Be fearless and faithful, and never let down your pride With your own talent and charisma, be identified It's your strength that runs the house And your talent that makes us proud In your embrace, I'm forever safe and sound You're my angel and radiate serenity around What a blessing you are, you really don't know For life, we haven't got manuals but mums, to show Us how to bloom, to row our own boat one day Make a life that you can't wait to wake up to everyday It's you mum, you make my life so hopeful and happy You make the mountains that em...

 I'm back with some new lyrics!!! It's not easy for anyone nowadays.. and sometimes you just lose yourself under all the noise Hope y'all like it :) Who You Are Keep telling myself who I am Keep telling myself what I’m worth No matter what hits me I’ve got to stand In this world you need power to be heard You’ll stumble, you’ll fall Realise you’re alone among them all And that expecting’s just hurting yourself All they want is the world to be centred to them So silence your thoughts and worries Get rid of all the noise  Know that it’s only safe to feel When you’ve got a better place to hide So till then Drown the pain Turn the page And write a new song Fight the rage Don’t complain You’ll have to play along Play along and be strong Aim for the stars Don’t be a captive in the critics’ claws Find pride in your scars And keep telling yourself who you are The world’s neither friendly nor kind There’s no place for a naïve mind In this rat race, it’s hard to survive But luckily, ...

Well, there's no doubt that the universe throws surprises at us everyday that aren't always fun! So, I guess we should just enjoy life and not worry a lot...  As they say, 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!'  My life went from sweet to sour 'Cause we don't know what'll happen tomorrow, or the next hour The world's in chaos, in a plight People are dying and we still fight, We're in darkness, pretending it's alright But we can still find the light 'Cause The clock's still ticking And we're still living  Yeah So we gotta get up and brush off our tears, Say goodbye to the fears of tomorrow And we gotta, live our life to the fullest Feel the joy of each moment 'cause - The clock's still ticking And we're still living There is no clarity these days, Everyone's just stuck in one place, How'd it help? Wealth and fame We are all drowning, the boat's the same So, follow your dreams, don't complain Don't ...
