Place a camera on the table
Use your thumb to press 'Record'
To sing, I'm unable
Although comments flooded with support

On the weekends I find myself writing
A pen in my hand, I design a scenario
Or maybe one of a song I could sing
Though I run out of ideas, but not of oreos

I edit the clips together
Watch the preview
Releasing to the Internet where it'll live on forever
No pressure, no pressure, phew

Today, I laugh at myself
Why was I so nervous?
"Have confidence in yourself"
"Nothing wrong in being ambitious"

To all the people who thought I was a failure
Huh, look at me now
Record, Song and Album of The Year
You're the one saying "Wow"

It's never easy to get success in this world
True victory comes with hard work
Once you've done it, expect hurt
Haters in every corner, they lurk

You're never fit enough for anyone
But you only ever have to please yourself
Your supporters make up for everyone
By defending, you're only tiring yourself

Don't worry about it
All the immature people
Your fans got it
They deal with all the trouble

Also, dating is terrible
I tried to marry someone
He left me, how horrible
He didn't like being under the eyes of everyone

It's like fame is a huge magnifying glass
One that's put over you at all times
Watching your every move, create a fuss
All the things you do are crimes

Nothing goes accepted
Nothing comes easy
No matter how hard I worked
No matter how crazy they drive me

It isn't just like this in Hollywood
But in any life in general
Don't be mean, don't be rude
This is the real, cruel world

Take it easy, deep breaths
No stress, okay?
With every news flash
It just ruins my day

But no one is in control of your feelings
No one except for you
They do bad, mean things
But you control how it affects you

Don't let it destroy you
You're stronger than you think
Don't let it get to you
You're smarter than you think

Bright lights, red carpets
Cameras, interviews
Supporters and haters
I'm always on the news

With every single good thing
There's always a downside
It's you who spreads your wings
And it's you who chooses to fly

With every single good thingThere's always a downsideIt's you who spreads your wingsAnd it's you who chooses to fly

Hey! How'd you like this one?

I personally don't like this one, I wrote this in twenty minutes and it's not my best but I have nothing else to put up today, so here it is.

Go ahead, write your opinions (: I love hearing your feedback.
