Attachment: Dancing in the Dark.jpg [ 4.2 KiB | Viewed 6195 times ] Yet I don’t see I do not know If this is me I dance upon The stage at night I dance for men For their delight My mother scolds My father shouts Their daughter Is so full of doubts They loved me once Before I grew They loved the child That they once knew But now they simply look away They have no further words to say Others look their eyes are wide But I’ve lost their love Their love has died. |

As a child I often dreamed But the world was not As it always seemed Days out and joyous picnics too Innocence was all I knew I played beside the tumbling stream Ate strawberries, chocolate and icecream My mother always stroked my hair I thought that she would always care My father was my guiding light He chased the monsters who hid at night In my room beneath the bed He loved me once but he never said Silence, darkness, Replaced that world Child abuse And insults hurled Drove me out when I grew older With doubt and fear uopn each shoulder I wait, I think What lies ahead? But the past is gone Those dreams are dead.

Here's a cheerful piece which fits the title I think. Written last week, not sure if it's a song or a poem yet, will see if music comes. Pointless There’s a dark space Festers in the midst Whispers quiet messages of doubt In the dark space Happiness is nowhere Confidence and valour stay way out There’s a deep pool Lurking in the mind Stagnant water running out of time In the deep pool Lies the death of hope A place where rays of sun refuse to shine Whirling darkness Threatens all the time Pulling down towards the gaping void So attractive When the road is tough Its promises of peace, deceit deployed Pointless, pointless There isn’t any meaning to the life Pointless, pointless Endless worry, torment, toil and strife. There’s a demon Lives behind the eyes Lets you think that all is going well Then when you least expect it The trump card sends you Spiralling to hell |

ok, it's a song! As I was typing it up a hairy bluesman was watching over my shoulder and playing the same riff over and over inspired by the words he saw. Now we have finished the basics of what will eventually be a folk rock song. Cool!

That is very downbeat, but suits my general mood. Nydas that is really brilliant, it has a beat, and I can see a song in there. Makes me look a bit of an amateur, but that is what I am!
