AFTER THE music store trip matt dropped me off at home so i could put my new strings on my guitar, chris wanted me to come with them but it was already late and i felt like sleeping in my own bed.

as i walked inside my house i saw a yellow sticky note on the fridge saying,

"i'll be home later, working late :(
- Mama"

my moms been working a lot later lately and it's been very quiet when i get home now.

but muno always keeps me company.

i feel a slight smile appearing on my face thinking of the cat.

i walk upstairs to my room and get my guitar from the corner of my room. my guitar was an acoustic guitar, i have an electric one as well but i've been using my acoustic a lot lately because muno knocked over my mini amp and i have yet to buy a new one.

i start to fix the strings while i put on the neighborhood just for some noise.















I FIXED MY strings a while ago and now i'm fixing some lyrics to some songs i've written but never actually sang to anyone, except muno and my mom. it's currently 10:48pm and i'm tuning my guitar as my phone buzzes.

i pick it up and see it's chris.

I SMILE WHILE looking down at my phone and shutting it off and placing it aside. i open up my notebook with all my songs and i flip open to
"if you want to" i decided to record myself singing so i could show chris. i set up my phone against a candle on my bed side table and start a small strum on my guitar and sing.

If you wanna take me

Go ahead and try my head

Experience is nothing compared to

The sleep paralysis in my bed

If you wanna love me

Try to get inside my brain

Experience is nothing compared to

The nights i'm always up so late

Bed bugs in my mind

Keep them all alive

Insomnia creeps at night

Sleep paralysis till I die, die

'Cause if you want you could stay with me in my bed

If you want to only, if you want to

If you want, you could go ahead and my fix my head

If you want to, only if you want to.












I FINISHED the song and stopped the video, i watched it over just to make sure i actually sounded good. i noticed i had a small lingering smile on my face while singing. i always slightly smiled while singing this song, it reminds me of when i used to call chris when i couldn't sleep and he would ask if i wanted him to come sleep with me. i would reply "if you want to" because i never wanted to pressure the boy. i was 16 when i found out i had insomnia, chris would always help.




















 i was 16 when i found out i had insomnia, chris would always help
