Yay, songwriting is coming forth! Here's a snippet of one I've been working on. It's not as intense as the lyrics make it sound. I'm thinking it should be soft, kind of melancholy but with a beat that almost makes it sound optimistic, too.

--------

I know you're leaving
I know you're already gone
I hope you find the things inside you
To help you find where you belong
It's never easy to say goodbye
It's never easy to hold back tears
When you want to cry
I won't lie
It's not been long
For every path we choose to walk
There's always a reason
Maybe you were here to remind me
They're not all bad
Maybe I'm a little extra encouragement
To keep you safe until you get back
So here's a prayer for you to keep you safe on your journey
You've chosen to live your life, I hope you enjoy learning
