Vibes web3 music competition week#20, for this week, I'll be doing an original song I and my sister @caithlyn wrote titled "Oblivion".
I saw a song Raye did where she talked all about her flaws and how everyone wants her to be this perfect girl but she's not. After listening to Raye's song, I decided to be vulnerable and do the same thing. I downloaded the free beat from Tubidy and have been working on the lyrics and tune for days.
This song is about me, how I felt at a point in my life, and I still do some days. I wrote this song years ago but in my diary. My younger sister is a poet, so she did all the magic. We added some new lyrics and changed so many things.
Oblivion according to the dictionary
The state or fact of forgetting or having forgotten; forgetfulness; (also) freedom from care or worry.

To me, it's the desire to escape a painful experience and also a longing for freedom. That's why I called my song Oblivion
Body shaming people is not okay; they didn't create themselves, so why make them feel bad. We're not perfect beings and can never be. You have a pointed nose, but that doesn't mean every other nose that isn't pointed is ugly.
Words are so powerful, Just saying you're ugly to someone can change the whole course of their life, make them commit suicide, or even hide themselves forever. Not everyone is strong.
Let's be mindful of that and live life. Your opinion about my skin color wouldn't change it from black to white, so let's just live life and mind our business.
I've seen a couple of people put their insecurities on others just to feel better about theirs. I've experienced that. These people feel good when you feel bad.
Sometimes we never outgrow the pain and it's stuck with us for life
The thing about toxic people is that it's hard to disconnect from them. They're like leeches; they only disconnect from you when they're full, and then they leave you sinking.
I do hope you like my song.

Lyrics
Title"Oblivion"
My mind has been roaming
Seiving all the caked memories
I'm trying to hurt myself again
long dead scenes
I'm sinking in my dark world
Where everyone's got something to say
Thought about this several times
Can I be free from this hate
Can......I find my heaven
You're insecure, but you put it on me
My beauty is hidden with your scars
I almost drowned my heart today
You were my poisoned wine
I knew but I went on ddrinking You've moved on to the next stage
But I'm still here sinking
Can I face my demons
Can I find my heaven
