I KNEW A GIRL

I knew a girl .. she'd a lot to say about a lot of things

she'd open up her books ; leaves filled with wishing

She took her time and wondered bout a lot of things

realised there were things she'd been missing

she wanted to redress the wrongs and rights

and shake the loneliness of centre stage

she wanted to turn off the bright lights

and forget to tell them how she spent her days

and I wonder if she knew about it

She could never live in just one day

I wonder if she knew about it

Did she hear the call of far way

She knew there'd be so much to learn

life would pass her by too fast

the wheel of time wouldn't stop its turn

while she struggled to shape the past

and I knew a girl .. she had a lot to say on things

she'd open the books ; leaves filled with wishing

She took her time pondering all those things

never realised how much she was missing

When her mind lived far away

and her broken dreams were held in shade

that's when she had the most to say

Its when her emptiness was made

Like water as a mirror for the moon

like a window shattered from its casement

a song that found its tune

From me ... to me ... this is my statement

Remarkable!

Another masterpiece you've done, just as expected!
It's very deep. The line "When her mind lived far away
and her broken dreams were held in shade.." marked upon me.
It seems that if we don't hold firmly of our dreams,when we seem lost it can easily
be blown away by the breeze swiftly. That is why we need to believe
in our own strengths and never hesitate. This poem is very heartfelt, emotional yet powerful. It's an exceptional artwork.
That's why I'm nominating this for spotlight as well.
Great job! b^^d

I've often found, that when the human emotion drives the mind to a place unknown to us, it's there that we have room to run, explore..find ourselves behind the smiles we where as masks inorder for other not to worry about our state of mind...we do it to ourselves..we become lost along the way - in a world of false-hood..We forget who we are, what we want...where we were heading in the first place...as if in a panic...of trying to become someone else..just to suit their own desires....it's only when we stop, think...(reflect)...do we see - who, and what we've become...only us can change ourselves...whatever we see in the mirror...behind that image...is the real us.....I adore this poem...so honest and heartfelt..brilliant

An emotional write with many good lines.
'shake the loneliness of centre stage ' being just one of them
and leaving so much for the reader to think about.

Beautifully written - excellent.

These lyrics reminded me of another song I heard before, Poem by Taproot, I think. It only reminded me of it because u were talking to yourself, it was almost therepuetic to you, probably. Anyways I could be wrong but no matter, that was an excellent piece.

I'm glad you decided to publish your songs. Do you know of Leonard Cohen, my fellow countryman from Canada? He's a poet songwriter too. I hope that you have a way of doing musical justice to the lyrics. They might not be exactly as written when you're done, but the essence will stay. I look forward to reading more. Thanks, Botham

Hi Botham, Thank you so much for believing in me. Have never heard of Leonard Cohen is he here onsite ? No music to any of the lyrics except how I hear them in my head

TBH I never even showed this to anyone else before yesterday (fear is a terrible thing and sharing innermost thought is difficult for me) Cathartic for deffo and I promise to return often, Shay xx
