What Happened?
Hey Everyone,
Fondest greetings to you all. I feel like an eternal n00b right now because this is my sixth post. It would have been my twenty-sixth, but we all know what happened. It's really sad that the Board has reverted back to January. I can't believe I only made five posts between the time I joined and January. But at least the Board is still here and I'm thankful beyond words that I still have a place where I can share my writings and be appreciated. I'm going to be doing things a little differently from now on. With each new (or old) song/poem that I post (or re-post), I will also include a short note about what (or who) inspired me to write that particular piece. I leave you now with one of my more recent creations. I think this one's pretty self-explanitory, but what it's about is basically the power of words. I think it's very appropriate for the current state that the Board is in. Just remember when you hear some annoying kid crying about how they lost all their rep points, and their custom usertitle, and being completely ungrateful... please keep in mind that words are only words. I lost over 700 points but you don't see me complaining. I'm just glad the Board is still here.  "Words" - By: MoonlightShadow I used to think I knew it all I'm sorry that I made you fall Sometimes I think before I speak This drama pushed me to the brink Open up, and words spill out Words of anger, words of doubt Lock it up and throw away the key We must never speak of this again Words make you stronger, Words make you weak Words make you brave, Brave enough to speak Words of kindness, words of pain, Words of spite, and words of strain I used to think I knew it all Now I feel helpless and small I know too much, I didn't think it through Now I don't know what to do Open up and let it go Words of sorrow, words of woe Hide it away in the corner of our minds We must never speak of this again Words make you truthful Words make you lie Words make you open up, And see what's inside Words of sweetness, words of pain Words of loss, and words of gain Words are powerful, Words say it all Words can mean something, Or nothing at all Words tell secrets, Words play games Words tell lies, They're all the same And yet, when put into play... Words make you noble, Words make you strong Words make you speak Before they've all gone Words of beauty, words are free Words of you, and you and me <3 M.S. })({ Last edited by MoonlightShadow : 07-26-2005 at 12:52 PM. |

New stuff
Hey again.
Guess who's back?! I'm a bit unhappy right now because I just got back from having a filling at the dentist and my mouth is still all frozen. Good times. Meanwhile, I have a new piece to share. It's called "Imaginary Friend". The main concept behind this one is having a friend that you're drifting away from. You used to hang out all the time, but they've moved on, and it's not like it used to be. You try to convince yourself that you're still friends, but it's all in your head. Or something like that. Anyway, enjoy!  "Imaginary Friend" - By: MoonlightShadow (aka: Becky) You're drifting Away upon the sea You're shifting Sailing away from me Never to return again Always on the run Searching for true happiness Your journey's just begun You're falling Out of reality You're stalling Not knowing what to be Something is wrong Way deep down inside A heart set on fire You can run, but you can't hide I'm waiting, I'm hating, What you've become This story of tall tales is not yet done I'm waking, I'm faking, The story has to come to an end I have to say good-bye to my imaginary friend ~ M.S. |

Silence...
Hey.
This piece was inspired by a Depeche Mode song called "Enjoy the Silence". It's a great song. Hopefully someone will enjoy it. "The Sound of Silence" - by: MoonlightShadow (aka: Becky) Empty and unfeeling Listening but not hearing Down to one last living cell In heaven or in hell Thoughtless rantings Are so useless Meaningless chantings Are so truthless The sound of silence Is what I hear It is all I know It speaks to me It talks through me If you listen as I do... You will here the sound of silence Screaming voices Make bad choices Listen with me now I will show you how The fires are raging An enferno blazing My spirit's on life support The system will soon abort The sound of silence Is what I hear It is all I know It speaks to me It talks through me If you listen as I do... You will here the sound of silence Listen... Out in the night Listen... With all your might For you've never truly listened until you've heard the sound of silence... - Becky |

This one's a bit of a downer... the next one will be happier
Me again
 Does anyone know that feeling when you like someone, but you know you havn't got a chance with them? I sure do, and that is the subject of today's offering... "Hopeless Cause" - by: MoonlightShadow Everyone knows it but you I'm a girl with a hole in her heart Everyone knows it's true Because you tore it all apart A one in a million chance A shot in the darkness A moment in time Lost and heartless I'm fighting for a hopeless cause And it's you Everyone sees it but you The light steals the life from inside Everyone knows it's true Perfection is just a lie A forgotten promise A lifeless death A stupid idea But it's all I have left I'm fighting for a hopeless cause And it's you Why is it that you cannot see What everyone else sees so cleary Are you that oblivious? Are you that unobservant? Why can't I stop running? Why can't I stop fighting? I'm addicted to lost hope And wasted chances I'm still fighting for a hopeless cause But this time it's me. Becky |

More of the same...
I wrote this piece quite awhile ago, and I can't seem to remember what was on my mind when I sat down to write it. I guess it's about loving someone who didn't care for you that way... or maybe it's about loving someone with a deep dark secret. It also might br about someone who loves you back, but is afraid to show it. I'm not sure. I think it's a combination of all of the above. Here goes nothing:
"Forever Unused" - by: MoonlightShadow I broke down the walls That you built around me You hid me from your gaze But I've broken free I threw open the gate And stepped into the light It's too late for questions This is the final flight So open up your eyes and see what's inside Looks like you just found out your living a lie Maybe someday you'll come crawling back to me I'm the last one who can set you free Behind your eyes, I see the pain I see the scars that will forever remain I see myself, and I see you Lost inside, forever unused You walked away from me Off into the abyss You hid your face You were checked off the list The city ain't pretty When you're out there alone Your mind, your head Is full of thoughts unknown So open up your eyes and see what's inside Looks like you just found out your living a lie Angels will fall and heaven will open wide Until I have you back on my side Behind your eyes, I see the pain I see the scars that will forever remain I see myself, and I see you Lost inside, forever unused I don't need much, just a sign Before we cross the line Maybe now, maybe then I'm still waiting for it I don't need much, just a sign Before we run out of time The light fades on mistakes you made Don't surrender to the world Behind your eyes, I see the pain I see the scars that will forever remain I see myself, and I see you Lost inside, forever unused... Yes, I know I said the next one would be happier, but I lied. Sorry about that. I came to the realization that nothing I write is terribly happy. Oh well. I really want to change this one's title, but I'm not sure what I'd change it to. Any suggestions would be welcome. Bye for now! Becky |

The title says it all - this piece needs no explanation.
"Love Bleeds" - MoonlightShadow Darkness is comforting It keeps me grounded It keeps me away from you I know you love her But you can't have her This news is nothing new And yet you cling to hope Even though it's long gone Love bleeds, love stinks It's never what you think Love stinks, love bleeds Because you never get what you need I try so hard to ignore The explosions in my head But staying in the line of fire I think I'll end up dead Was I stupid to let you in I wish you'd just leave Hey baby, I hate you The truth is so hard to believe Love bleeds, love stinks It's never what you think Love stinks, love bleeds Because you never get what you need There's nothing left to say I've gotta have things my way Becky |

Unknown Territory
This piece is about a friend of a friend. He's with this girl who treats him like dirt. She's always saying she wants to break up with him, but she never does. She's been stringing him on for months now and it's just so depressing to hear about. So I wrote this:
"Unknown Territory" (I'm not sure why I called it that, I just thought it sounded cool) - by: MoonlightShadow It was a day like any other day Her confesstion left him without a word to say She thought it would be best if they went their separate ways She's dying slowly in a high-speed age Drowning quickly in the slowest way She killed his soul in mortal combat Over a lie, or something worthless like that He longs to scream, but his small voice has fallen flat He's dying slowly in a high-speed age Drowning quickly in the slowest way She robbed him of all his pride Her angry words tore him up inside She put his heart through the wash and hung it out to dry She's dying slowly in a high-speed age Drowning quickly in the slowest way Now he wants to burry himself in shame He's already digging a brand-new grave It's different than the first one, and yet it's all the same He's dying slowly in a high-speed age Drowning quickly in the slowest way No more dances in the dark And now more wicked ways He'd still take her back Even though he knows how she plays He'd go back to her and let it happen all again... Dying slowly in a high-speed age Drowing quickly in the slowest way There's nothing else that I can say They're dying slowly in a high-speed age... Becky |

<--Don't you just LOVE mah new avatar?
So... todays offering is about liking someone one day and waking up the next day and realizing that you don't. It's a confusing place to be. Maybe you found out a secrect about that person that you couldn't deal with. Or maybe they're just a big jerk. In any case, here it is: "State of Confusion" - by: MoonlightShadow It's just like it always was I spend all my time sitting on the fence It's just my destiny But you're on the fence in a completely different sense I'm detached and I'm distant But I have no problem with it The real problem is you I know your secret and I don't know what to do It's just a state of confusion With no end in sight I'm back in the loop But you still don't see the light It's just like organized chaos You tried so hard to hide the deadly truth inside I think I finally understand Untangled from the lies when I look into those eyes The perfect green and blue Of a tormented soul Lost so far away from home Where did you go? You ran away and now I curse the day It's just a state of confusion With no end in sight I'm back in the loop But you still don't see the light The whole charade was just a spoof Why can't you just tell the truth Secrets tear you up inside They steal away all of your pride What else can I do? The past is in the past And what else can I say? It all happened so fast Why can't I just forget Things what I shouldn't know Here I go again I'm losing all control It's just a state of confusion With no end in sight I'm back in the loop But you still don't see the light What else can I do? There's nothing left to do And what else can I say? There's nothing left to say to you Becky |

I wrote this sorta-silly piece about being attracted to a guy that's fairly popular at school - the guy that everyone knows and everyone likes. The guy I wouldn't normally go for. And yet I did, this one time, knowing he'd never be interested in me, with all the other girls who were. This was just for fun. Eveyone likes someone at some point that they know they have no chance with. I just put it in writing.
But just as a forewarning: this isn't my usual style of writing. But I like it anyway."Other Girls", by MoonlightShadow I heard a song the other day It made me think of what I'd say If I met you in a dark alleyway Sang along a little while Trying so hard not to smile I guess that's just not my style I've got to keep on walking There's a guy I know He's always laughing He's always dancing with the other girls Other girls make me wanna Cry and lie and die 'Cause I'm not them So tell me why... Why did you leave me here alone Why... I really should of known Why... Why can't you see You're just like me I walked home the other day I passed by you on the way A simple 'hello' was all I could say 'Cause you were with some other girl With her hair all up in curls As perky as a candy swirl I had top keep on walking There's a guy I know He's always laughing He's always dancing with the other girls Other girls make me wanna Cry and lie and die 'Cause I'm not them So tell me why... Did you break up again Why... Did you get a new girlfriend Why... You could never see What you need is me Then there's me, I'm free Walking around in circles waiting The lies unfurl And I'm still waiting Combat boots, fishnet tights, schoolyard fights And I'm still waiting Black hair, death stare, Don't keep me waiting There's a guy I know He's always laughing He's always dancing with the other girls Other girls make me wanna Cry and lie and die 'Cause I'm not them I wouldn't wanna be!
