A Song by Me

I had posted this on Helium. It has to do with life being difficult, etc. It's okay, I guess.
Verse
Have you heard the latest?
I'm losing track of time
It's a crime to feel the way I do
Keep your distance away from me
Far from the life I once knew
Taking the easy way out
Fate dropped out of the blue
A communications blackout
I'm no stranger to heartache
Breaking down my defenses
Building a better wall of illusion
It appeals to my senses
Making a deal with the devil
A poor choice of words
My goodhearted soul has gone missing
Trying to follow the vast herds
Pre Chorus
It's hard to be yourself in a time of need
It doesn't take much to please me
But, I'm getting better
I'm getting better
I'm getting better all the time
Chorus
I don't care if it takes all night
You can't call time your own
You think you're really something
Find it hard to be yourself when you're alone
The point of living has yet to be addressed
How the hell did I get into this mess?
But, I'm finding a reason
A reason meant for me
The point of living has yet to be addressed
How did I get into this mess?
I've looked for a reason just for me
But, it doesn't matter much to me anymore
Post Chorus
You were right about me
You were right all along
I'm a fool for thinking otherwise
You don't know anything about me
I'm a rule in which you don't apply
Then, basically it goes back to the chorus again before fading out. I've tried it on my guitar, it's okay. I need an acoustic, though. Plus, I can't sing, so I just hummed a melody.

Wow, you are an awesome song writer. This must have took you at least a couple of days to pen down. Have you ever tried to perform songs you write in front of anyone else? I think people might appreciate your songs....

Thank you. I try to write what's on my mind at the time. It did take me two days to write the lyrics. And another two to come up with some music for it. And no, I could never perform in front of people by myself. If I was in a band, maybe. Mostly, I just write for myself. Sometimes I need to answer my own questions, you know? It's therapeutic, I guess.

Cool....continue on with your hobby and I'm sure one day at least someone will come across your songs and really appreciate them (I'm the first to appreciate your songs already, so you already have an achievement!). By the way, do you have a band of your own? It's really cool to be in a band....

I tried the band thing. It wasn't for me. I guess I just like creating my own songs for myself. When I first started playing guitar I knew that I wasn't really interested in going pro.

I like it! I published a few songs on associated content, they get okay page views. i can't sing either but that didn't stop me from recording them and putting them on myspace, lol.

I really like 'A Little While'. Very well done. I just started on Associated Content. I'm still working my way around the site, getting to know it better. You have some really great articles on there.

A very good song you have here about the reason for living. You must be a good poet to. I write poetry. I write songs too in my high school days mostly in our native language "Tagalog". But I have never tried to really put it in songs, like write chords for it. I don't really know how to write chords. I only know little of playing the guitar. I just like singing, but singing doesn't like me either.
This thing you have is talent. Good Luck!
