Thank you
Hey there,
I’m really sailing through shallow water if it comes to writing atm. I have to take care of myself and fight the damn illness.
But yesterday I had a little idea and it came together almost without thinking. Not my best piece of work, but at least something…. Feel free to give fb and comments
Thank you
They may say that you’re no beauty A‘
And that your voice wakes up the dead
They won’t listen to your story
Lost in their own, so don’t be sad
They can’t chain you they can’t break you
If you have dreams so let them fly
Have courage in your heart and soul
Just walk your path and try and try
Let them say your clothes are ugly A+
Your hair is strange, your nose is wrong
They can’t understand your doing
Can’t feel the vibe of your own song
Their limits aren’t yours, you know
Who are they, telling you to stop?
Stay focused and follow your heart
In your own time you’ll reach the top
And when they call you names. B
Take it as a compliment
And when they say: don’t do it!
Don’t stop whatever you do
And when they call you names
Take it as a compliment
And if they call you wired
Be glad and smile
And say: thank you
They all want to be special. C
And simply beautiful
They all want to be special
A perfect lovable doll
They all want to be special
But beware if someone is slightly different
That’s when their masks will fall
They may say that you’re no beauty A*
And that your voice wakes up the dead
They won’t listen to your story
Lost in their own, so don’t be sad
Let them say your clothes are ugly
Your hair is strange, your nose is wrong
They can’t understand your doing
Can’t feel the vibe of your own song

Well met and welcome back.
I liked the lyrics and they carry you through from start to finish with its story about acceptance and not giving up after going through such trials. The title brings depth to it as it shows the internal strength gained by the trials.
I'm my poetic mind this is nothing short of an excellent expression of an often misunderstood concept within each of us. We forgot our trials do make us stronger and seldom are ever grateful for the growth we receive from them.
I am new to lyrics so take this with a grain of salt. I am commenting only from what I've learned over the last few weeks.
This could benefit lyrically with shorter more concise language that keeps the impactful meaning. I think that would also make it easier to sing but without an ear or voice for this it is only my speculation.
Hope you get well soon.1 -
This is a good piece with a strong message, it is well written so don't be too hard on yourself.
Liked it very much.

It's a good one. Kept me focussed all the way through.
I like the self-deprecating humour of: "And that your voice wakes up the dead", I nearly snorted there.
You might try "If you have dreams" ➡️ "
IfYou have dreams"It's lovely to see you writing again!

Thank you Owen and the others for your encouraging words! I really thought: ok…that’s it! But this one „flew“ together almost as if there were no barriers in my brain and soul. I liked the feeling. And I just put those lines together without fear and overthinking, especially the line you like Owen. It just had to be there.
Well I’ll keep on fighting, even though anxiety disorder, depression and all this physical stuff is hard to fight but sometimes I think that without these enemies I wouldn’t write at all.
Once again: merci beaucoup!
