I Will Be

Copyright 2012- Mariah Farr

Intro

I was confident with myself because I thought I wasn't alone.

Now sitting here all by myself I know I was completely wrong.

Verse 1

Well you lied to my face and I cried and prayed to get out of this place

I couldn't go to school without being afraid.

Soon came rumors and they spread like fire

Having a friend was my only desire

I, can't believe all the drama that came.

I spoke my mind guess that was wrong

Now I'm out of time, don't know where I belong.

Chorus

I fell so hard, broke into a million pieces.

Wondering what I did, why did I deserve this.

Felt like I couldn't breathe, no one was there for me.

Now I am rising, slowly but I'm getting there.

What you do, and what you think about me I don't care.

Even though everything's wrong, I will be strong.

Verse 2

You don't know how many times I wished I could die

Yeah you faked it from the start.

My friends all left me but no that's not the end

the one I loved went and broke my heart.

I lost the things I wanted and loved

And now I don't know who I am able to trust.

Repeat Chorus 2x

This lyric has a depth of meaning with universal appeal. Writing lyrics is a tough task; what we think we understand to be ok with us doesn't always apply to others. It is better to use meter of equal lengh in the verses. Look carefully into the lyrics of well known songwriters. The best of lyrics is simple structure. The ideas are great, As for the title I will be, it is not mentioned in the chorus; which is always included in the tittle, as the hook of the lyric.How will people remember the song title, if it is not in the song-chorus at all? Verse 1 I can't believe all the drama that came ? what drama. Many of the ideas are repeating themselves in different ways. A lyric should have a logical order of events and meaning.Look at "I will survive" lyric. Tell a story in logical time, meaning order. A fine lyric that needs more polish for perfection. We are all happy, when we get good reviews or comments; but honesty is the best policy.

I think with proper structure, this would be a nice lyric...more for the lyric board than the poem board, I think...and you would get help setting it up as a lyric :-). Nizar has given you some good things to work on.
