Okay you guys. Good choice. The previous contest's results will be released the morning of the 3rd, since we had a tie. And for THIS special #4, I am going to test you guys! You only have 3 days to write this one (Don't stress, hug a pug.)
The theme is Lost! Get creative and rock on!!

Maddie (mysteria02) | 133 comments Hi, this song is called, "last song" Hope you like!

Woken up in a pool of my own tears
Felt the heartbreak
of a thousand hearts
Lived my life on the run
From my own bullets
Cause I've been living
In a world of my closest strangers
Lived among the high and low
Convincing myself I'm not lost
Trying to make sense of the world

Cause this is it
My last shot at 'normal'
No more hurting
No more crying
No more waking up
Not knowing where I am or where to go
I know as long as I tell myself
this is my last song
It never will be

Ever felt like dying
Like the world crumbled down
Never knowing how to pick yourself back up
Like the most you know
Is sitting in your eyes

Cause this is it
My last shot at 'normal'
No more hurting
No more crying
No more waking up
Not knowing where I am or where to go
I know as long as I tell myself
This is my last song
It never will be

In my experience
People have a way of giving up
Never saying what they are
Trying to say
But when I feel like giving up
I write another song
And another and another
Till the words no longer pour out

Cause this is it
My last shot at 'normal'
No more hurting
No more crying
No more waking up
Not knowing where I am or where to go
I know as long as I tell myself
This is my last song
It never will be

Cause this is it
My last shot
It never will be

Maddie (mysteria02) | 133 comments I meant it like when she says it is her last song, she can't help but write more. Like in defying herself almost is her way of letting her passion and lyrics out. She pushes herself.

Harper Nicole (harpernicole) So, these are actual lyrics. I think it’s more of a rap/rock vibe so do with it what you want! Lol It’s called “Darkness” by Harper Nicole

Darkness
Sitting in a hot mess
Waiting for a genius
To solve my problems
Weakness
They tell me it’s madness
Nothing’s getting me outa this
If I don’t crush my emblems

I can’t climb out of this blank slate
So I’ll grab at what’s above me

Swimming in an ocean
Called emotion
Figure out how to figure
Out my future
Waiting’s going to kill me if I don’t let go of holding
On to worrying about my sad sad story.

Breathing
Pick up all my weakening
There’s no such thing as hurting
When it comes to failings
Steering
Trying to fix my ending
When I search for lighting
All I find is nothing

I can’t climb out of this blank slate
So I’ll grab at what’s above me

Swimming in an ocean
Called emotion
Figure out how to figure
Out my future
Waiting’s going to kill me if I don’t let go of holding
On to worrying about my sad sad story

Darkness surrounds me
Can’t figure out what’s up ahead of me
But if I can’t see
Then I’ll take the next step to see just how steep

Swimming in an ocean
Called emotion
Figure out how to figure
Out my future
Waiting’s going to kill me if I don’t let go of holding
On to worrying about my sad sad story

O_O WOW Shine. I think I'm going to have to google some words that actually express what I'm thinking right now :'D

It ends tomorrow night, since I gave you guys three days to do this one- It says so at the top what day I posted that (December 2nd). But if you want me to just say "from December 2nd to December 4th at 11:59 pm" to avoid confusion, I can do that too.


message 9: by Harper Nicole (new)

Harper Nicole (harpernicole) Good job, Shine. In my head it has a really quick beat, so it was fun to read. 👍

Faith (victorianprincess) | 120 comments Here's mine, my friends!
This was a fun one, and I hope you think it is written well.

Lost!

Oh, the feeling of losing one's way!
I grope through the darkness
As through the forest I stray.

With each passing moment,
and minutes too countless to name
The great dimness deepens
But the loneliness stays the same.

Lo! faintly I hear the howl of a wolf
calling mournfully to the moon
I stumble toward the sound
Longing to see the revealing light soon.

But the wolf ceased its cry,
and in a tree's hollow I crawl
To sleep, and for a while to bide.

Throughout my dreams,
though my bed is soft with leaves,
The haunting word courses through
my mind, and "Lost" ceases not to agrieve.


A_ bookbound _soul (a_bookbound_soul) | 12 comments Hello everyone! I'm new here as well in writing poems and songs. Everyone's writings are so inspiring that I thought I should give it a try. So here's something that hopefully looks like a poem.
Dead and Lost
-by Grace


Every turn I take,
Every path i follow,
Leads me back to the same spot.
But does that mean I'm lost?

Tears have joy have turned to sorrow,
The loneliness creeping inside me.
Once I was happy but now I'm not,
Is this how you feel when you're lost?

The starless skies
And the darkness within,
Makes the ghosts move as if in a trance.
Does losing yourself make the shadows dance?

Back then you loved me
And stole my heart
But only to leave behind the shattered pieces.
Searching for them is how I got lost.

Sushie || "To gain your voice, you must forget about having it heard" -William Ginsberg (73687) There Is No Turning Back
By: Sushie

Run, run, run, but I never get away.
Hide, hide, hide, and I always think I stayed.
Gone, gone, gone, if I ever could be gone.
I'm lost! Lost! Lost! I'll never find my way.

Where to go, go, go?
Where to be, be, be?
It's a trap, trap, trap!
And there is no turning back.

Find, find, find what I never should have lost.
Be, be, be what should never ever be.
Want, want, want what should never be for me.
Wrong, wrong, wrong the words crashing through my head.

Where to go, go, go?
Where to be, be, be?
It's a trap, trap, trap!
And there is no turning back.

Do, do, do what never has been done.
See, see, see what never has been seen.
Feel, feel, feel, what never has been felt.
I'm different, more than anyone I know.

Where to go, go, go?
Where to be, be, be?
It's a trap, trap, trap!
And there is no turning back.

But I stand, stand, stand, when no one else can stand.
Try, try, try, when no one can ever try.
Fight, fight, fight, when every person flees.
Be, be, be, the best me I can be.

Is it just me, or am I getting Moana vibes in here? :P
