Hard (short)

In songs

 Hit hard times
but they just hit back.

When I try to to fly
but I can't get off
the ground.

Dirt glitters and shines
but I can't waste my time
with fools gold anymore.

I have to get out of here
I'm kinda going crazy,
become my own worst enemy.

Chorus
Hard, hard, hard times
but someone has rougher,
Broken wings won't fly
but no one calls the doctor.

I can never win,
Can't even get last place,
stick me in the center,
yet I get  no attention."
END CHORUS

Lately I've been fighting,
but its all in my head.

Arguments
against my self
that I never seem to win.

Everything seems
turned against me,
everyone seems
out to get me.
All of this
yet no ones on my side.

Chorus
Hard, hard, hard times
but someone has rougher
Broken wings won't fly
but no one calls the doctor.

I can never win,
Can't even get last place,
stick me in the center,
yet I get  no attention."
END CHORUS

I just wanna have one day
when I shutup and agree
with the other half of me.

The other half of me.

Hi, Dasia!

I kinda liked this song. In the end, I really did. There were awkward moments, but I feel like the message really did come across by the end. Maybe just a little attention to the structure of the piece, but honestly, I ended up liking this piece a lot.

I think this part of your chorus could use some attention. It doesn't flow like the first half of it does. Maybe stay consistent with the style. I do love the first two lines here, though. Those are just awesome. Keep the lines, just rephrase a bit.

Now, I didn't get an impression of... a split personality, if you will. I didn't see the song's subject with two different perspectives. They just seemed very lonely and explaining why they're lonely. They weren't, like, putting blame on a part of themselves. Granted, it was mentioned briefly in a couple lines, but the song as a whole didn't give that impression.

I love what you did with this metaphor of fool's gold. So awesome.

There was a part that confused me, and I'm going to try to explain it. I might utterly fail though, so feel free to disregard. xD Anyhow, after reading the first verse, I struggled with understanding the point of the doctor line in the chorus. If there's a way to foreshadow "helpless" in the introduction, it might help it better. You don't need to throw in extra lines to explain it, just maybe rewrite something or choose a different wording somewhere to give that very faint/vague impression.

I did like what you did by the second verse, though. By then, it all made sense to me, and I was incredibly happy with it.

So if you made sense of my babbling there, you are awesome. There were only particular moments that could use attention, but the overall piece actually achieved its purpose very well. Great job!

Keep writing!
