better things

*wrote this song after receiving a bunch of rejection letters from various funding programs, showcase opportunities, etc. receiving these letters is a standard part of my life these days, but on this particular day i decided to sit down and write out the frustrations.


verse
someday i'm gonna show you
that i am, strictly self sufficient
that's a promise i'll hold on to
until this restlessness is nonexistent

i'm gonna prove, that i can do
anything i want to
i don't need your self righteous help
i can do this by myself
without you, because

chorus
i believe in better things
i believe in happy endings
i believe in conciously moving forward
i believe in so much more
than this

verse two
this power of injustice will only,
push these feelings further
so sick and tired of this,
fight to make all of it matter

i'm gonna prove, that i can do
anything i want to
i don't need your superficial help
i can do this by myself
without you, because

chorus
i believe in better things
i believe in happy endings
i believe in conciously moving forward
i believe in so much more
than this

That's the spirit! I've don't let the rejections bother me anymore now though. I've got a good family that supports me, and I will just speak my mind anyway.
