I apologize for not posting in so long. My life has seemed to spiral out of my control leaving me to wonder if it will ever be what I hope it to be. Still, with all the stress and worry, creativity can spark. I wrote this song using some remnants of my poem “Calm.”
Calm
Verse 1:
Calm…why am I so calm,
As disaster strikes all around me and I just stare
So, calm…what makes me so calm,
As my life just falters before me, piece by piece
Leaving me so empty,
A shell of who I once was…
Chorus:
But I’m so calm, but I’m so calm,
Why am I so calm, why am I so calm
Verse 2:
Calm…why am I so calm,
I feel the chaos circling around me as I sit still,
So, calm…what makes me so calm
Vicious glances and tension surrounds me as the war rages on…
Heightening all my senses,
Yet leaving me so numb…
Chorus
But I’m so calm, but I’m so calm
Why am I so calm, why am I so calm
Why am I so disconnected, why can’t I shed a single tear? When will I escape this prison of mine, when will I feel, why can’t I feel…
Left with only sadness,
The days I knew are long gone…
Chorus
But I’m so calm, but I’m so calm
Why am I so calm, why am I so calm
What makes me so calm, what makes me so calm,
But I’m so calm, why am I so calm…
