Template
I wrote a song.
Never tried songwriting before, so I don’t have anything to compare it to.
Feel free to hate it.
Here are the lyrics.
“Template”
Don’t know where I’m going.
But I know where I’ve been.
My whole life I’ve been learning.
There’s no point fitting in.
For the people who know me
Just know that I won.
Because this template is finished.
My project is done.
I hate that you aren’t me.
You just don’t understand.
My life’s not a schedule.
It will not go as planned.
But I believe in a balance.
More to life than just me.
I can try to get better.
To grow and succeed.
My history’s important.
I forget what I’ve done.
The battles that I’ve fought,
And the fights that I won.
But I’ve lost here before.
So I can never forget.
These feelings I’m having.
All this pain and regret.
This journey is over.
It’s time to move on.
I think I’ll get better.
My template is strong.
I think it came out okay for my first foray into songwriting.
Who knows, maybe I’ll eventually write some music to go along with this song.
