BETTER BY MYSELF BY HEY VIOLET

by

I know what is going through your head right now. “Is Monday going through some emotional downpour?” I guess the answer is no. I actually stumbled on the song on Youtube after searching for a good song for the prompt on the internet.

It may sound funny but trust me, many people go through mind blowing things in life and these things that i have no knowledge of has the very ability to destroy them instantly. This the reason why many are plagued with high blood pressure, stroke, dementia, ulcer, and several other ailment due to long hours of solitude and deep thoughts of how they could have done it better, leave it be or said something to alter it.

I have asked myself many times if there was a way to stop…when i mean stop, i am intentionally talking about putting an end to heart and head aches. Yes! there is a way to stop it- you’ll hear of it in the song that is featured on the prompt today.

The solution may not be appealing to you but it works. And like every man made solution, it has loop holes.

SHOUT TO @reeniereid1 AND HER DAUGHTER WHO IS CURRENTLY FIGHTING. JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE ARE IN THE FIGHT TOGETHER. GET WELL SOON!

LYRICS OF BETTER BY MYSELF BY HEY VIOLET

There may be something in the water
Over here in California’s
Got me feeling like I’m better off alone
Maybe it’s the way you used me
Watered down my love, abused me
And you always criticized me on the phone
Ooh, ah
Would you kill me if I told you
That I never wanna speak to you
‘Cause when I’m on my own, I feel alive
And there’s nothing wrong with crying
But my empathy is dying
‘Cause we never were that good, we’d always fight
I’m better by myself (self)
I’m better when there’s no you in my life
I’m better by myself (better by myself, better by myself)
I’m better by myself (better by myself, better by myself)
You’re no good for my health (better by myself, better by myself)
I’m better by myself (better by myself, better by myself)
Everything you do just wears me down
It’s getting old, I’m trying to run
It feels like you’re just wasting me away
When you choose to terrorize me
Any confidence inside me dies
You suffocate me with the things you say…

  2. Maybe you never knew me
    this time around
    turbulent waves took us
    our wildness washed ashore.

    Empathic eyes sear mine
    tormented hearts ablaze
    we sine wave each day
    ecstasy and agony.

    Maybe we are still lost
    an interlude of loneliness
    even this passion shattered
    won’t stop us next time.

  3. Don’t let
    love blind
    you and rob
    you of your
    self respect
    Climb your
    own mountian
    Be the your
    own champion
    Self love
    Is the best
    thing you
    can have
    There are
    No self
    doubt
    when you
    put yourself
    first
    Love starts
    with you
    Then one day
    right person
    will appear
    Open your
    Soul too and
    Just breathe

  4. Under the watchful gaze
    of ghostly trees
    i buried my sorrow
    under heaps of grey leaves
    stream of tears gleams
    binding tendrils of smiles
    over chapters of a story
    beauty has yet to give
    upbeat in my own company
    upon seashells i dance
    beaming with hope
    in sunlight’s strokes.

  5. Better of alone
    Living on my own
    For too long, too many times
    I’ve had my heart broken
    Touches, smiles and words spoken
    I found the right woman
    Even she left my heart broken
    Hidden rivers of sadness
    Lost rhythm of the heart

    POEM BY KARL WOMACK

  6. Well, she said i was
    myself in everything.

    She called me selfish.
    it is better that way.

    That way, i’m not troubled
    at her inconsistent lie.

    That way, i’m not troubled
    at her meddling talk.

    She called me selfish-
    it’s better done myself.
