Docs,

I have to agree with all of the above / or below. I so enjoy reading your songs.

Its a pleasure for me to come here and read new post. As UYK says " its hard to get around them all. In the short while ive been here , this section here has trippled its content.

I have hundreds of songs/ poetry / stories, half books / whole books/ written. But as someone said to me recently " They feel like
babies to us, and no longer hold the mystery when they are finally aired". If this is how you feel about your work then i respect this! But not because you feel your work is not good enough.
I cannot agree with you on this at all!

Way to hard on your self!

Love and light.

Old Doll.

YEEHA, I tricked you. I agree, I thought about it, not about a tune, melody I have a "head ful" of tunes, at least 100 different, and 50 sometimes similar to existing songs I heard on TV or Radio.
I think this happens all the time. JUST GO TO YOUTUBE, write PLAGIARISM and you will see & hear a lot of VERY similar almost IDENTICAL songs. I feel worse (PHYSICAL) and a lot of people notice this, I start thinking, also too much. I've had some really bad days, and this is so unfair. Because of thinking, fighting, writing and despite all my documents, I even get 160$ extra every month from the government, which is very uncommon, in stead of being happy, it really hurts, because it proves that my condition is really serious, also the fact that I really get a lot of money just for suffering and doing nothing. I lost everything, my girlfriend, an independent nurse who worked 7/7 days leaving at 05.30 to return at 22.30, she was EGOCENTRIC, she hated everyone who came to see me = big relieve. I lost my pride, my self-esteem, my work (=my life, but responsible for my private life where I failed a few times) I had the most beautiful women, my "joye de vivre", my courage, my social life=almost at home 24 hours a day. I am even not aware which day it is. It is a relieve when I compare this with a guy who runs his own business, renting DVD's living in fact just like me, every day is the same, add on top my RESTLESS MIND, giving me the opportunity to do 3 different things at the same time. THAT is really awful. I discovered the why, by doing an IQ test IN ENGLISH (www.tickle.com) and having 147 as IQ, add 20-25 in my language. This problem, and I can guarantee you, is/was killing me and is a curse and not a blessing. I started to understand a lot of events in my life, like being considered as a freak on school, able to memorise 200 pages (A4 size) a day, walking through a museum in 1 hour, and knowing more than a person who looked to everything in one day. Doing 4 things together, starting with A, but in stead of B, I am jumping from A to Z to return to A, giving the impression that I didn't listen, but knowing exactly what he told, always knowing and giving an answer on questions they wanted to ask. I don't know why I write this, but that's me and I can't controle it. My strongest point is also my weakest point. I am who I am, more assertive but at the same time more sensitive and not so self assured. That's me, also why I write long answers, or topics. I have nobody now, only CHORDIE, this site changed me a lot. Sorry for all this, and I will post songs, even using a lot of difficult but nice chords. YOU ARE ALL SO GREAT, NICE and REAL FRIENDS for me, or "cyber friends". It is a big relieve writing this, I just wannabe loved.
