What I Think I Am Notable For

Back in High School, I was really someone you would call a nobody. A loner. Fifty words a day. Invisible. (Compare me now, LOL)

Well, I was fond of poetry and things and such. I "just" wrote the graduation song of our batch. OMG, I remember the day when I stood up to say that I didn't like the composition of one of my batchmates, and that was a very weird moment for me. 

So yeah, I wrote a song, and I had to present it to the whole Senior faculty. And I was like, my heart's going to fall from over beating. It's a good thing my friends from my band helped me with this dilemma, I was half-relieved to know they were there for me. 

That hidden talent could have made me a better lyricist or something but I stopped it. It just became to overrated for me. 

What I wrote:

Believe The Dream

Looking back at the memories we had
I knew we've gone so far
And now we're saying goodbyes so sad
Requesting God to play it back

Refrain:
Way back was emptiness
There's no turning back
To the struggles and downfalls
We'd sometimes lose our track

Chorus:
'Cause we see the stars
All right in front of us
When life's a picture
Of a never ending journey
To believe in the dream
To reality it would seem
And it's up to us now
To make or break our chance
Today

We may not be as certain we seem
Tomorrow's never ending
And we draw nearer to our dream
To live a new beginning

Bridge:
Strongholds are broken
Locked doors are opened
If we'll keep chasing yesterday
We're missing out today

'Cause we see the stars
All right in front of us
We have the world
All in our hands

'Cause we see the stars
All right in front of us
We have the world
All in our hands
To believe in the dream
To reality it would seem
And it's up to us now
To make or break our chance
Today

And now we're saying goodbyes so sad
Requesting God to play it back



Upon reading this again after a year, I never really knew what I wrote back then. Now, I found what it means. And I am very grateful that I wrote that myself. I am really grateful that I stood up for myself. I made a difference. 




BRAGGING RIGHTS BELONG TO ME :))
