Stress and the art of relaxation

Lately Ive found it difficult to find any inspiration to write something new. I decided that i should just take whats troubling me and use that as an inspiration while still trying to help my faithful readers.
 
Just to put it simply..Ive been stressed.
I'm a senior in high school and soon it will be time for me to see which colleges i may have gotten into as well as realizing where i may be for the next 4-10 years of my life.
 
To tell you it was just college in general would be a lie because I'm only stressed about auditions since I'm going for a degree in classical guitar. Between performing with the show choir and gospel choir and working and everything else sometimes practicing may sound hard to do.
 
Today i finally relaxed while practicing and didn't worry about the mistakes so much i just let the sound of the guitar ring out and you know what i found..the guitar sounded more beautiful then it has in a while. I already know that being stressed and tense can choke the sound of the guitar but i didn't realize i was this tense until this morning.
 
So to anyone who may be reading this i would just like to tell you to relax. Everything resolves itself in the end and sometimes you just need to go along with the ride. Alot of times the end is definitely not clear and may seem out of reach but you need to keep striving for it.
 
Doctors say that everyone will go through a real depression once in their life. Many people may have a chemical imbalance or something that may make them more prone to becoming depressed but for the rest of us we need to keep looking ahead and fight for what we feel is worth it..
 
And for those that aren't stressed or depressed help someone who may be facing these problems. Be there for them and show them that someone cares. No one would go to war alone so why should we. Its always better to have someone you trust be there to help guide you because when your mind is clouded you might just might make the wrong decisions.
 
Thank you and sorry for the wall of text.

To those who feel broken (please comment and share

Current mood: Feeling your pain

Ever feel like you were broken
your life was over
you wanted to give up
forget everything in your life
 
I know i have
Many times Ive wanted to give up
I felt that everything was over
I felt that i couldn't go higher
only sink into the earth ..until i hit a bottomless pit
And fell forever
 
Ive realized though that sometimes you have to take what
Comes to you and use it
Put the frustration, anger, the hole in your stomach
and use it as determination and drive
Bad things happen that's life it sucks it really does
but if you can move on and make the best of it
Isn't that sorta like winning
...to me it is....
 
To whom it concerns:
I still believe in you
always will
Keep going
you'll have your payday
Never doubt yourself
I see the greatness in you
Keep going believe in yourself in no one will
You can make a difference in everything you do
 
 
Please comment, share experiences whatever you feel
thanks,
.................Kenneth

...I confess....

* Disclaimer: Me and my girlfriend have just hit 5 months yesterday and once again there is nothing bad between us some of the lines are misleading but some of you will understand*
 
Ever since i met you i knew
knew you would be trouble
knew i would fall for you
 
Ever since that trip i knew i would have you
one day i knew i would make you mine
ive always had that mindset
 
even though after sometimes it was hard
those phases where i would talk to you
because i couldnt
because of fear
because of godzilla
 
but even still i wanted you so bad
i caouldnt resist any longer
 
Even though i hated the class
Physics was the greatest thing that coulda happened
it got us to work together
Even though we were building stupid crap
I had the chance to talk to you
to be able to actaully joke around
To give you hugs
 
The movies changed me forever though
After that night..one of the greatest nights
of my life i knew what i had to do
I finally got rid of godzilla
I fell into your arms
The place i can finally relax be myself
 
I will forever be yours
I will protect you and always be there
So after a few years and a "two month salary"
it will always be that way haha
so here it is
 
Here is my confession even though
It is long overdue
This is to all who where involved
I did exactly what you think i did
and i couldnt be happier
 
I love you Jessica always will
I see no reason for me not to confess to everything

To be locked

Current mood: Thoughtful

To be locked away in a hidden room
the darkness of my inards are starting to creep out
i cant breathe
the anguish a my self disgust taking me over
giving me a reason to hold my breath
 
The tests pass by and even my best cannot be enough
i want to see the pages rip
to tear to cut to rid myself of them
when will it be enough
 
Id rather spend my days looking at the little black dots
but i must keep up my work for the big building
filled with those to fill my head with knowledge
the little black dots call me
They haunt me and i follow
 
They take away the distractions
The everyday life
All the things i do is to live
to live and they give me breathe
To live to breathe to understand
those little black dots
 
 

*kind of out there but enjoy*

Self Conscience will rip you apart

Current mood: Extremely Happy

*Note to reader: it may seem that events in this song state me and my girlfriend are having relationship problems. We are not. I am personally better than ever before and we are extremely happy together today we have just hit 2 months :D
 
 
 
There was a girl
with beauty that surpassed
but she didn't see it when her self conscience
kicked her in the f**king a**
all bad things will pass
 
Chorus:
Baby cant you see how beautiful you are to me
have i ever lied
maybe in your mind
but i know your way better than fine
 
Verse?
I know that in school
everyday seems to get worse
but maybe its just cursed
to take life day by day
maybe there's no other way
High Schools a b*tch but we only have two years left
 
Chorus:
Baby cant you see how beautiful you are to me
have i ever lied
maybe in your mind
but i know your way better than fine
 
Verse 2?
you know about two years ago
you came
to f**cking Pennsylvania in this small little place
and since then my worlds been inside out
i go from high in the air to six feet in the ground
i dig myself out
and fly away with you without ever leaving the ground
 
Chorus:
Baby cant you see how beautiful you are to me
have i ever lied
maybe in your mind
but i know your way better than fine

Why would you

Current mood: thoughtful

Why would you think that i would use you or abuse you
why would you think that all the things we felt were a lie
do you think i was playing a sick joke
no you know it was real
you could see it in my eyes and i could see it in yours
 
I wouldn't mess around
i wouldn't play with your head its not what i do
everything this i said and felt i meant it to
im sorry things had to happen lke they did but lifes life and you still have to live
im sorry you were sad im sorry for your head
im sorry for any tear i ever brought
i dont wanna hate you and i don t think you do to me
so wipe those tears im still here even though im your friend.

Moonlight

Current mood: your on my mind

As the sets the moons rises
just as the very essence of our life
and most of the time people tell you when the sun shines 
they feel alive 
And when the moon rises 
They sink and go to sleep

However, i consider myself different
I come alive at night
and the day brings bitterness

Some may say its wrong or .. Awkward
to have someone say it but they don't know the story
how we have such fun in the night
and knowing the sun must rise
a reminder that we only have so much time
before we see each other again

So i tell you that even though the day brings bitterness 
i'll love you even more at night

In the back

Current mood: determined

Im starting to get sick of it
your always the person in the back and i'm not having it
you deserve the credit you earn
the way you'll stay out till the end of the night
just to know someone will sleep tight
and a lot of times its me and thats why your my sunshine
or my moon the beauty of the night
no you are the beauty of the night 
because listening to my heart thats what fells just do right

Now,
many times of year we get held up by time
but knowing i'm gonna see your face time just flies by
and as days turn to nights
i'm thinking about the days where we just sat and had each other
feeling alright
and as the nights turn to days i think about the nights 
where we had it our way 
i don't give a hell what people say
because i wouldn't want this any other way
since they cant feel what we do today 
and tomorrow ill feel the same way 
because i know i have you in the sun and the rain

11 Weeks {old piece}

Current mood: thoughtful

With all the late night calls 
and the ice the ice it thaws
with this inter it has passed 
this chance was worth it all

Im sitting with my head down tying to figure it all out
because of you im lost 
lost or an i found
I ponder the question 
over and over  its pulling me under
i look at your picture one last time 
and know 
heres the awnser

With all the late night calls 
and the ice the ice it thaws 
with this winter it has passed breathe may last 
this chance 
was worth it all 

I know that summers just around the corner 
and this wait will be over 
my head is spinning with the things i wanna see
this wait is killing me
but no worries i already know what you think
these 11 weeks will be over and i shall be free
i .. shall ... be FREE

with all the late night calls 
and the ice the ice it thaws
with this winter it has past 
breathe my last this chance was worth it all 
your worth it all

In our own little Planet

Current mood: thoughtful

Why dont we create our own little planet
Where the nights are longer than the days
and the moon is always full
Thay way even though I never could 
I wouldn't forget you

Because you always look more beautiful 
In the dark with the moon shining in your face
The outline of your figure brought out
Greater with the radiance of the stars
We could climb to the highest tower
and just sit and wait
Knowing we only had until morning 
because lying with you in my arms would 
be the greatest pleasure before burning in the sun

And just before the sun would shine 
one single kiss and your hands in mine 

the sun takes us away as we fell.
