Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I wrote these songs a few days ago for a character in one of the Rps I'm in. Little did I realize that I'd end up using these songs in two other Rps. Since I don't want to take up space by posting the whole song, I decided to put them in here. Plus, more people can see them XD

Writer's note for Hope and Normal: These songs were originally written for my character, Serenity, in an elemental roleplay I joined last week (or maybe it was a couple weeks ago?). I realized that these songs also fit two other characters of mine, Violet and Alice. You can look at the threads they're in by looking at my posts in case you're interested in the characters.

Hope

Although it seems that my life
Is just going down the drain
When I think about it carefully
I notice how wonderful life can be
Despite the fact I am quiet
And it’s hard for me to speak
That doesn’t mean I can’t be happy
While I’m alone

While I’m alone

Even though I may be an outcast
I can still live a happy life
All I have to do
Is learn to be lonely
And once I’ve learned
How great a lonely life can be
Only then can I find
The happiness I seek

Then again, I’m just lying to myself
With my optimistic thoughts

I guess it’s time that I
Take off my rose colored glasses
And see the world
For what it really is
Even though I continue
To lie to myself
At least it gives me the courage
To keep going on

To keep going on

Even though I may be an outcast
I can still live a happy life
All I have to do
Is learn to be lonely
And once I’ve learned
How great a lonely life can be
Only then can I find
The happiness I seek

Then again, I’m just lying to myself
With my optimistic thoughts

But I guess there is still time
To make a friend
I just need to make sure my shyness
Doesn’t get the best of me
I pray every day
For the gods to give me courage
I ask for hope
I ask for faith
I ask for love

Even though I may be an outcast
I can still live a happy life
All I have to do
Is learn to be lonely
And once I’ve learned
How great a lonely life can be
Only then can I find
The happiness I seek

Then again, I’m only lying to myself
With my optimistic thoughts

I ask for hope

Normal

Even though I’m not perfect
I know I must try my best
And even though I make mistakes
Does that make me a bad person?
I try so hard
To be someone I’m not

I try to be normal
But I guess that will never happen
Since I cannot change
Who I am
Just because I am strange
Doesn’t mean I will hurt you
I try to hide
From those judging eyes
But I must face the truth someday

I’m not normal and I will never be

In your eyes I will hurt you
But I would never harm a fly
All I want is to be accepted,
Is that too much to ask?
Sure, I may seem frightening
But that's not the real me

Why can't you see?

I try to be normal
But I guess that will never happen
Since I cannot change
Who I am
Just because I am strange
Doesn’t mean I will hurt you
I try to hide
From those judging eyes
But I must face the truth someday

I’m not normal and I will never be

Please give me a chance
All I ask is for a moment
To prove to you I don't mean any harm
Why do you run away?
You don't even know the real me, just yet
If I start to cry, don't go away
Stay and wipe away my tears

Why can't you see?
I'm not normal and I will never be.
