Need some self-motivation (song making series #3)

Here’s the problem. I don’t have enough confidence in myself. Honestly, I would be rich by now if I get one dollar every time I doubt or pity myself.

In previous posts, I’ve shared how making songs is a way to release these negative emotions. Yes, releasing those pent up stress is important. But I feel like all I wrote are negative songs. I need some positive energy. So here I am. This is my self-motivation song:

Playing mind games with myself

Hiding away like I’m unwell

Make-believe world is where I dwell

 

Hiding behind all these walls

Seeing problems just withdraw

So I will never fall

 

I gotta big future in front of me

Waiting for me to see

No point to be so worried

 

I shouldn’t be so scared

Should be a risk taker in any way

Cuz I’m fully prepared

Just keeping my full potential at bay

Don’t self doubt ~

Just try it out ~

Out~

 

Where should I start? Where should I stay?

Don’t know what to do but that’s okay

Stop stalling, start doing

 

Lyin’ here staring up the sky

As all opportunities fly by

I figured there’s no time to be… shy

 

I shouldn’t be so scared

Should be a risk taker in any way

Cuz I’m fully prepared

Just keeping my full potential at bay

Don’t self doubt ~

Just try it out ~

Out~

This song is basically about how I’m too scared to make mistakes and how my doubting that I’m not good enough impeded me from experiencing new things. Sometimes you just gotta try it out, cherish all opportunities, and mute out other people’s judgement.

 

This song is sung with ukulele. The chord progression is C, Am, D, Em.

The vid will come out soon.
