I Write For Me

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

(Verse 1)

I used to chase the echoes,

Of each applauding cheer,

Wrote my dreams in shadows,

Afraid of what they'd hear.

But then a whisper called me,

From deep within my soul,

“Stop pretending, start believing,

Let your heart be whole.”

(Chorus)

So, now I write for me, not for the crowd,

Turning my thoughts into a songs that are loud.

When the honesty flows, like a river so free,

I found my voice just being me.

No masks, no fear

Just words to hold dear

Now I write for me, not for the crowd

(Verse 2)

Danced with doubt and worry,

With every line I penned,

Each verse a little story,

Of a heart that learns to mend.

With colors of my passion,

And rhythms of my truth,

Now the lines are bursting,

With the fire of my youth.

(Chorus)

So, now I write for me, not for the crowd,

Turning my thoughts into a songs that are loud.

When the honesty flows, like a river so free,

I found my voice just being me.

No masks, no fear

Just words to hold dear

Now I write for me, not for the crowd

(Bridge)

What if they don't understand?

What if they turn away?

But with every note I stand,

I found the light in my day.

So I’ll sing my truth forever,

With every breath I make,

In the beauty of the moment,

No regrets, no mistakes.

(Chorus)

So, now I write for me, not for the crowd,

Turning my thoughts into a songs that are loud.

When the honesty flows, like a river so free,

I found my voice just being me.

No masks, no fear

Just words to hold dear

Now I write for me, not for the crowd
