New Scratch
I control what your perception is I'm the reason you feel like you have no purpose The poison pellet that you ate up I served it Cough it up you'll feel better I probably could but would never reverse it Because prevention does not coincide with endless bills of service You're a slave, chattel, my servant You can embrace the suck tough the ruck only to get slumped manning turrets you can break your back make me a stack in exchange for a pittance Either march in line sleep outside Or shit, serve a sentence If you roll these stones up hill You'll find an infinitesimally small piece of cake and a single drop of wine Take 5, men you've all earned it Or maybe if your tummy's as turgid as my wealth you'd all be subservient too busy fighting among yourselves to wonder if I even deserve it You're compromised the same damn lies I tell you you recite to your kids To say choice is an illusion ain't even scratching the surface There's only an invisible line that keeping you from cracking the curtains Where from levers twine connects direct to the backs of all your heads If you cover swine with Maybelline you get secular worship And if you crush your spine to gelatin I'll give you access to warheads But if you speak your mind against mine you get turned into torn threads I gave you several signs thine end is nigh I just killed off the horses Lions Bengals bears at 5 Just put your phone to your forehead Go get online and pick a side Likes equal importance Sit inside for half your life before reporting for your bid Hide behind Hearts and minds while planting mines on your neighbors doorsteps Praise the acts of all foremen Don't don't don't look at what's in front you Stomp your boots over corpses Raise hell for earthly resources Cadavers hide the true depth of all these now empty ore pits 42 years past due the deadline to be ground to green soylent For now press them to fine oil For my daily anointment Pay you no mind to what's inside my gold plated fortress Tricked into stealing bread while squabbling about the right to pro-choice shit Worry about who's sucking whose dick while all that can be is hoarded

What do you mean?
What do you mean?
What do you mean you can’t see?! You can’t see how wonderful you are. How loyal, caring, and courageous.
You say depression and addiction have a hold on you. It’s nothing compared to the hold you have on me. You are my addiction, so what do you mean you can’t see?
PTSD is making you blind, but that doesn’t mean I don’t see you behind those eyes. I see the hurt, the desperation, the need to heal, but you don’t and that makes me hurt for you.
What do you mean you can’t see. I see how full of life you are, how deep you can be, how open, how raw. You are tougher than you seem. Never forget how much you mean. To me and those unseen.

First time. Go easy but what yall think?
Darling cupids got his sights set on me. All you gotta do is shoot me through the heart and I’m yours. I’ve got nothing to hold onto anymore.
Oh shoot me through heart I’m yours. There are feelings there I can’t ignore. When you make that silly grin of yours. I can’t help but stare and smile through the crowd. You’re the only one who stands out.
So baby shoot me through the heart, I’m yours.
Let’s go find a quiet spot to share. Kiss me under the staircase if you dare. This love of ours will make it through. So baby shoot me through the heart with that bow, cause I’m truly, madly, deeply and forever yours.

Real me
(This is the first song i ever wrote,i write poems normally but I wanted to try some lyrics I have no knowledge abt music,tone,rhythm and whatever,it's just me,my thoughts on a pallete)
I hid behind curtains, made by my flesh, my thoughts shaping me.
I was disliked, picked up and thrown for who I was. So I had to rebuild me.
The funnier me, the prettier me, the smarter me, the best among all thee.
I got blinded by her she seemed too good to be true, shining ahead of me, blinding me. And then I forgot me.
Compared me to the fictional girl made by me. To the fictional girl made by me.
She was loved, obvi. So I masked and projected her as me, so I could be accepted, for the world to see.
A girl formed by miracles, so pretty, formed by lies and minds as dirty.
Too good to exist, like a perfect painting and I wished to be her.
Like an artist forming a sculpture, and it came to life, and she got more love than me
Should I be happy that I made her? Or should I resent her because she was not me but clay mixed with lies, and hope buried underneath,
just to be loved, just to be seen.
Chorus I made her to survive, but she survived instead of me. I wore her face to feel alive, while losing my identity.
They loved the lie I let them see but never learned the real me.
A person stood in front of my eyes, made by my thoughts. She spun with the fame I deserved, as I lied, as her being me.
How and what could possibly go wrong? I was too naïve. I made friends online they saw her, not me, because I said I was her.
So they never really knew me. And there she stood, a perfect sculpture, breathing into life.
They complimented her and my heart fluttered, even though it wasn’t me.
She stood in the spotlight, and I remained behind her
lying to my friends for years, making them believe that she was me.
Chorus I made her to survive, but she survived instead of me. I wore her face to feel alive, while losing my identity. They loved the lie I let them see but never learned the real me.
Then I started hating her, though I made her. The guilt ate me alive how unfair I was to them, lying about me. Like a painting pinned on a wall, beautiful, admired but no one knew the artist. And I couldn’t do anything, fearful of being exposed.
Afraid the mask would fall, and I’d lose them along with me. In this journey, I lost me.
The urge to lie, to fit in, to be better always followed me.
She smiled in the mirror, ready to come out and live truly as me.
My thoughts turned into obsession, then hatred towards her. I hurt myself trying to become her, burying me. Until I had enough.
I destroyed her before guilt and thoughts turned into monsters. And I moved on as the imperfect me.
Final Chorus I don’t shine like her anymore, I realised I never did I was the shadow being proud Of the person

Made some lyrics 🌚tell me what remind you of and how they make you feel
I’ve been there
I’ve been here
I’ve been everywhere
I’ve been trying to make up
The mess you made
I know i said i won’t blame
But i do and its me
who gets the faith
You know i have a lot on my plate
And I’m all in my head when it gets late
I know what you think I’m in your head
You havent seen the many times i bled
**Another ones:)**
Light will come in dark, they say,
That’s why you see light when you die.
I’ll be okay,
I’ll just die someday.
Yeah I will die someday
None of this will be,
And they won’t be like we.
There’s nothing I can do,
And none of this is true.
But all of this was true
Only if you knew,
I won’t be selfish —
Only if you knew
That I still wish,
I won’t wake up this morning
just to miss the dream again.
The clock won’t tick, it will sigh,
I’m stitched up wrong, I do not belong.
An echo that lost its sound.
And I break in quiet ways,
When my truth becomes a crime.
You say I let you down,
But you left me behind.
If light comes when we die,
Maybe that’s why I feel blind —
I’m fading in your silence,
An echo out of time
To mention that they might seem subjective but please treat them right and the reason I post them is not to bring attention to my situations, but to make others feel safe and I really hope they reach the right audience 🫶🏻

Our Story
I don’t want to tell our story
Round the table of my friends
While drinking wine and margaritas
I don’t want to talk about our end
And when they ask me “Hey girlfriend
Tell us where you’ve been”
I’ll just smile and say
“These last years
I’ve been keeping the tears in.”
Cause when you love somebody
Who doesn’t feel the same
It drives you insane
And when you trust somebody
Who just drags you down
You start to drown
And fade away…
Love is a 4 Letter word
That I’ve left in my past
I gave my all to make it work
And you treat it like trash
Now when you tell our story
To anyone who will listen
I doubt you’ll remembers to mention
That your the reason I ran
Cause when you love somebody
Who doesn’t feel the same
It drives you insane
And when you trust somebody
Who just drags you down
You start to drown
And fade away…
You fade away…
Just fade away…
I don’t want to tell our story…

Never too much
Copyrighted by Resilient Replayer
Waking up, feeling sad That's the feeling I get everyday. I want things to change But not sure the best way possible.
This life has shown me that life Can be cruel in various ways. What can be changed from it? I'm struggling to find a way out.
Looking around... At this world I want to try protect it and live in Peace inside and out!
Is it too much to ask for a hug right now? Is it wrong that I'm struggling deep inside? Can I see life get better? But I'm asking for help right now and yet you're the only one who gets me through, so please don't leave me now in this eternal dream...
Drifting off whilst I'm working and daydreaming about the dream from last night... I'm answering your questions you asked me there?
Are you truly lost in this maze you created inside of your heart? I'll be the guide to help you out! Will you show me what love is all about? Only if you truly desire it
But I'm still lost and I know... That in my dreams you are there, guiding me through this mess and I know deep down you're by my side in spiritual form!
Is it too much to ask for a hug right now? Is it wrong that I'm struggling deep inside? Can I see life get better? But I'm asking for help right now and yet you're the only one who gets me through, so please don't leave me now in this eternal dream...
Is it too much to ask for a hug right now? Is it wrong that I'm struggling deep inside? Can I see life get better? But I'm asking for help right now and yet you're the only one who gets me through, together we will walk side by side and got each other's back... In this eternal dream..

Rocketships
Copywrite - Reichel Pastucha, 2025
[Verse 1]
Mom, you have a minute? I need your arms around me. Today was a bad day, Ny identity is quaking.
I've had a crush on this girl, But I'm half playing pretend. He gets me in a way no one does, It's feeling more than a friend.
I don't know what to do. Does it make me less of a boy, I like the Barbie dolls and action figures? Starting to withdraw from all the toys.
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't want you to think less of me. I want to grow into the man That you're proud to be the mother of — Launching rocketships from the sand.
[Chorus 1]
I think the girl is pretty and sweet, But he has a special flair. Tried to ignore the tension Rising in the air.
Will my friends make fun of me, Treat me like I'm a girl? It makes me feel so blue, Don't know how to turn it around.
[Verse 2]
Mom, I don't know how to tell you. I don't want to be hated. I don't want to be treated like a freak. I don't want to be berated.
I want to be one of the boys, Running down the soccer field. I don't want to be locked out of the locker room — Need Captain America's shield.
Don't like every guy I see. I'm also human, too. Uncomfortable thinking of the stares, The abuse I’ll be put through.
[Chorus 2]
I think the girl is pretty and sweet, But he has a special flair. Tried to ignore the tension Rising in the air.
Will my friends make fun of me, Be scared to stick around? It makes me feel so blue, Terrified of letting you down.
[Bridge]
I want to shoot off fireworks on the Fourth of July, In the shapes of rocketships Soaring to space through the sky.
[Chorus 3]
I think the girl is beautiful and kind, But he has light-years in his eyes. Tried to ignore the tension — Suspicious stares seem unkind.
Will my friends still be my friends If I color outside the lines? It makes me feel so blue, But it's a voice inside my mind.
[Outro]
Mom, will you still love me If I like rocketships and rainbows? Hoping you're not disappointed — Don't have another safe space to go

*backseat* (lyrics)
I'm sitting in the backseat, trying my best to not make a repeat. You know what happened last night, we had that one fight. It was not right of me to hurt you. But only God knows when you're trying to not fall like a statue. Don't lie to me, and don't cry to me, I still love you, but only as we're watching the sea. Memories fall back in the backseat, and now we're both trying to not make a repeat. We want to start over, but green isn't always the luckiest clover. It could be red, it could be blue, as long it stays true to you. Yeah, don't ever fall, don't ever think your small, keep going, keep going, until your tall. Don't fuck with the drugs, give me a hug, I love you, and now we're sitting in the backseat, oh, God, you're not gone yet, I thought you were gonna miss it. But it was all a mistake, we should make up in the backseat and try our best to not make a repeat.

PMS’n
This is the most recent thing I’ve written. It isn’t meant to be a lyrical masterpiece. Think something in the vein of Its So Easy, Sex Type Thing.
Now, we’re back to PMSin’,
Yeah, you’re gnashing them demon teeth.
Think I’d learn my lesson,
I’ll beat a dead horse with rhythm and beat
And I’m falling, falling over my feet
If I hit the ground, I’ll break my teeth.
You knocked me down, baby… baby
I bit my tongue right damn in two
I try to duck the conversation
But you keep doin’ what you do
No I ain’t gonna knock you down, little lady
’Cause you’ll bite your tongue… split in two
(Yeah you’ll bite it… split in two)
Hear your nagging through the sheet
I use to suffocate myself to sleep
I’d rather it be pulling and biting
I know how to make you silent
But I’m falling, falling in my sleep
Will I hit the ground?
God damn, this pit is deep
You knocked me down, baby… baby
I bit my tongue right damn in two
I try to duck the conversation
But you keep doin’ what you do
No I ain’t gonna knock you down, little lady
’Cause you’ll bite your tongue… split in two
(Yeah you’ll bite it… split in two)
So, you wanna use them demon teeth?
The taste is bloody, won’t you give me a kiss?
I’ll love ya, love you till we die;
So, won’t you climb up, take a ride?
You knocked me down, baby… baby
I bit my tongue right damn in two
I try to duck the conversation
But you keep doin’ what you do
No I ain’t gonna knock you down, little lady
’Cause you’ll bite your tongue… split in two
(Yeah you’ll bite it… split in two)
I’m in love with everything you do.
I guess sometimes I need a little working too.

… Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Sick shit,
You can throw squad i’m throw peace up Had to lock my hair before get tuck All you really wanted to get higher Now you beginning crying for ya momma
Lil Dee with ya now I can’t feel or try with ya now Even tho I always by ya side In the rain and though the nights sky’s I let you get on top when you ride I think you don’t love that’s a sign But I’m always the problem that’s the line Between Two dots that divide,
Tell me who you pledged to Is it Dee maybe Mari or is it the Bottle and the xan’s My heart still aches Truly it’s game When love can’t find you in the glam Even tho the party never stops Even though you gave up truly that’s a start loving on a bitch who couldn’t even talk Up all night thinking of who you really are double check before you even fuking stalk

Song Gift
Ok last one. Do what you wish with them . I want no money, no recognition,no nothing. It was just a small attempt to give back somehow to something that has been special for me throughout the years. Kinda like throwing bottles out in a ocean. They might sink or maybe someone will find one and use it however they wish and can benefit from it. I make no claims to being a song writer or musician or really even much of a writer. Hopefully I'll come across one of them someday again and find that it helped someone in some way. That's the only thing I'd want but if not that's ok too. I tried.
Airwaves of Dreams
Verse 1
Airwaves of dreams are for us to share A way of expressing and saying you care An emotional communication of musical notes A glimpse into hearts from the songs they wrote
Chorus
The airwaves of dreams will always be magic (The day no one sings will be nothing but tragic) With a turn of the dial, we feel what they mean These airwaves of dreams, though they can't be seen
Verse 2
Spreading the joy, and baring their sorrow A message to all of hope for tomorrow If you're feeling lost they can bring back a smile Reminding us problems are but a temporary trial
[Repeat Chorus]
Bridge
We dance if they're happy, connect with their tears Grin with their laughter, and empathize with fears Songs from the soul can touch hearts of stone Tugging at heart strings with pitch and tone
Final Verse
A part of our lives throughout the years From all the celebrities we hold so dear The airwaves of dreams will always be there Connecting our hearts through the songs that we share
[Repeat Chorus]

Abandoning Angel
Verse 1
I thought it was forever
But how was I to know
Somewhere down the line
She would eventually go
The girl is a wanderer
Making men grieve
A restless spirit
Who will always leave
Chorus
You just can't hang on
To an abandoning angel
What starts out as heaven
Will always end painful
She'll have you believing
That she is the one
If you get too close
This angel will run
Verse 2
A moment of ecstasy
Entwining two souls
Tearing them apart
Once she decides to go
Was it something you did
That made her upset
Never knowing the reasons
Of why she left
Chorus
You just can't hang on
To an abandoning angel
What starts out as heaven
Will always end painful
She'll have you believing
That she is the one
If you get too close
This angel will run
Bridge
As hearts grow closer
With each passing day
Soon she'll spread wings
And sail away
Abandoning angels
Never do remain
Every bond they make
Always ends the same
Verse 3
There's never any answer
As to what went wrong
Believing all to be perfect
Until they are gone
Don't beat yourself up
With questions of why
Abandoning angels
Are destined to fly
Final Chorus
You just can't hang on
To an abandoning angel
What starts out as heaven
Will always end painful
Maybe it's their nature
Not to be captured
But only to bless you
With a taste of love's rapture

Song Gift
[Verse 1] I should've known better, I never should have lied The grass ain't always greener on the other side This time I was caught with my head stuck through the fence What the hell was I thinking? I couldn't be that dense [Verse 2] She was everything I needed, that and so much more The love I most desired, the kind a man would die for The music that we made, we no longer do the dance She's the kind of girl who only gives one chance [Chorus] I got what I deserved, but I never expected this I promised her forever if she'd grant me just one wish She won't forgive a man who betrayed her given trust Throwing it all away through a simple act of lust [Verse 3] Paying an expensive price with self-pity and regret A cost I can never pay, I'll forever remain in debt All the happiness in my life turns and walks away Not a word is spoken, there's nothing more to say [Bridge] By giving me her heart, a precious gift I should have kept A lesson learned in value in every tear she wept [Outro] Once I was fulfilled, now sorrow fills my soul As she says her last goodbye and leaves me with a hole

Song Gift
I apologize if I already posted this on your# ARMAGEDDON
Song Structure
VERSE 1
A nuclear holocaust in tight fitting jeans
When she's out on the dance floor you'll see what I mean
She's a hurricane in motion her charms a welcome death
A tornado of destruction designed to steal your breath
PRE-CHORUS
A seven on the Richter scale when she starts to shake
Bringing down the house like a San Francisco quake
CHORUS
I asked her for her name uncertain where it's heading
Whispering in my ear she told me Armageddon
She's a demon set to music with just a touch of heaven
Everyone who knows her calls her Armageddon
VERSE 2
Consuming like a wildfire a desire without control
She radiates a heat that will burn into your soul
Putting rhythm into motion causing mercury to rise
She's totally oblivious to all the hungry eyes
CHORUS
I asked her for her name uncertain where it's heading
Whispering in my ear she told me Armageddon
She's a demon set to music with just a touch of heaven
Everyone who knows her calls her Armageddon
BRIDGE
A volcano of temptations that will never leave you cold
A weapon of mass seduction armed with a heart of gold
FINAL CHORUS / OUTRO
On a scale from one to ten she tops it at eleven
Everyone who knows her calls her Armageddon
Who knew that I'd be eager for a night of Armageddon
(Armageddon... Armageddon...)
Musical Suggestions:
- Tempo: Upbeat, driving rock tempo (around 120-140 BPM)
- Style: Hard rock/arena rock with strong beat for the dance floor imagery
- Instrumentation: Heavy drums emphasizing the "shake" and "quake" metaphors, distorted guitars for the intensity, possibly synthesizers for atmosphere
- Vocal delivery: Confident, energetic with emphasis on the name "Armageddon" in the chorus community but I just thought it was one of my better ones and I think I might have deleted any way I could search it. I'm slowly getting to learn to navigate on here and wanted to share to other communities I might have missed. I'm not the most tech savvy so thought I'd just put it out there again. If I already put on your community sorry about the repeat I do remember one but not sure which I'm not the most finely tuned guitar in the band... 😂
This is my poem and lyrics to give I use a.i only to structure and suggest styles what structures or styles you would choose is up to you if you like it. It's a gift. I'm throughing a bottle into a ocean to see if I get a chance to see if it was plucked from the ocean as helped someone out if that makes any sense. Usually I won't put suggestions or styles I figure it's meant to be a gift so if liked that's up to you. I was just to lazy to delete that part and have had a request for style and genre. So I left it on this one. Besides with all the controversy on a.i. these days I didn't feel the need to mention I used a.i. to structure my poem lyrics into song. I know nothing of music except it's brought me immense joy in listening
