Kristen, the Writer

This side of me VERY few people know about because I like keeping it to myself. 

The first ever piece that I wrote was about my mother. 

It eventually was published in a book. Here it is:

 

Weirdly enough though, poetry isn't my favorite type of writing. 

I enjoy lyrical ballads and writing song lyrics. 

Below is the latest one I have been working on:

 The Real Me

 Come on the scene, 

Like a fashion queen, 

Just trying to be, 

Originally different...

Glitter and glam, 

Dedicated and adoring fans, 

While I walk around, 

Searching for friendship..

Thought I found love, 

Thought I had it all, 

But I ended up,

 Lying to everyone..

There's only one thing,

Left for the world to see..

Chorus:

It's time to be seen,
For what I truly am,
Not for who I was trying to be...
I want you all,
To believe in being happy,
To believe in reality,
To finally meet,
The real me...
I'm far from perfect,
And nothing is worth it,
If you don't work hard,
To earn it..
I built up my own reputation,
Leaving the real me only to your imagination...

Mid Journey,
I had my troubles,
But something,
Got me through those struggles...
It sure wasn't the fame,
Or Hollywood buzz,
Not money,
Or even love...
I had my voice,
My talent of communication,
Singing was my method of choice,
Writing the pain away...
Money and fame can be fleeting,
But my God given talent will remain...

-Repeat Chorus-
It's time to be seen,
For what I truly am,
Not for who I was trying to be...
I want you all,
To believe in being happy,
To believe in reality,
To finally meet,
The real me...
I'm far from perfect,
And nothing is worth it,
If you don't work hard,
To earn it..
I built up my own reputation,
Leaving the real me only to your imagination...

With finding myself,
I've discovered,
More than just an empty shelf,
But a lot missing,
From my life as well...
I want more than to be known,
I want my words to be felt,
Chill you right to the bone...
Make it hurt,
But in the best way,
Make you think,
And make you want to sing...
Love isn't all about sex,
Isn't all about looks,
Isn't all about attraction...
Love is but what,
We all chase in our dreams...
We want to be accepted,
We want to be happy...

-Repeat Chorus-

It's time to be seen,
For what I truly am,
Not for who I was trying to be...
I want you all,
To believe in being happy,
To believe in reality,
To finally meet,
The real me...
I'm far from perfect,
And nothing is worth it,
If you don't work hard,
To earn it..
I built up my own reputation,
Leaving the real me only to your imagination...

This is just me being myself and I can have the critics go wild on me. That's fine. No one is perfect but I work hard to do my best in all of my endeavors. Deal with it. An artist is an artist. His/her methods of communicating her message across are but his/her choice. Peace.
