Week 3 - 06/09/22

Hi all, I hope you have had a good week?

This week's theme is less positive than my previous entry. I had hoped to share something in line with starting back at work and new beginnings but to be honest, I have not been in a great place mentally. So, I have decided to share the lyrics to a song that I wrote when I was reflecting on how these periods of being down made me feel. I distinctly remember writing it in around 30 minutes and when I read it back to myself, I saw it wasn't perfect or that well constructed but decided to keep it as it was; raw and unedited.

I have yet to upload it to Spotify as the song itself doesn't yet feel like its exactly how I want it to sound, however it is on my Drooble page (a social network platform for musicians to get feedback on tracks they have written) and I will post a link for you to listen.

Have a read/listen and comment below with your thoughts.

Smile

The light through my window

The light through the window

makes everything look bright

It cannot penetrate

the sadness that fills me inside

Why can’t anyone see

the pain behind my smile?

I carry on.

Pretending everything’s ok.

I feel I am always running away,

trying to leave it all behind

But I am too slow.

It catches my heart and darkens my mind.

Why can’t anyone see

the pain behind my smile?

I carry on.

Pretending everything’s ok.

I feel the sadness enter my soul.

I can’t escape, I cannot hide.

How can I fight it alone and in fear?

I let the darkness inside.

Why can’t anyone see

the pain behind my smile?

I carry on.

Pretending everything’s ok.
