Step into your truth. As long as you're not hurting anyone (including your beautiful self, along with the shadows), no one should be able to tell you what you can or can't do. Define your own personality, your own flavor. Share your thoughts, your music, your art, your love with those around you. And if they don't appreciate it, it doesn't matter...because you injoy it.

MY TRUTH

*Trigger Warning: Domestic Violence, Abuse*

I'm sharing my song, "A Sisters Rage," with you today, but I'm scared. My sister, who has tried to kill me multiple times, will likely be released from jail tomorrow. This song is my story, my cry for help, and my legacy.

I've been living in fear and pain for years, enduring brutal attacks, emotional manipulation, and constant terror at the hands of my sister. She's a master manipulator, and the system has failed me repeatedly.

I've called the police, social workers, and hotlines, but none offered help. I'm trapped in this house with a woman who has vowed to kill me.

This song is my truth, my pain, and my plea for help. I may not survive tomorrow, but I hope this song will live on, telling my story and warning others.

Please, listen, share, and remember my story after I'm gone. I hope it will inspire change in a system that has failed me and countless others.

*My Story*
My sister's brutal attack on 3/23/25 was triggered by a $3.50 TV dinner dispute. I was thrown down stairs, punched, and choked until I lost consciousness twice. I was rushed to the ER and suffered severe injuries, including a cracked rib, broken toe, concussion, and multiple bruises.

My sister is 4 years younger, 2 inches taller, and 100 pounds heavier than me. I didn't stand much of a chance trying to defend myself.  I feel like my life resembles a true crime show where one sister eventually murders the other.

I fear for my life because although she was arrested, I know my sister will likely be released very soon and may try to kill me again.  

The song is not only a desperate cry for help but also a warning to the authorities, the court system, and the mental health community to take action against domestic violence and abuse. 

*Please pray for me!* 
         😢🙏😭💔



LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
In the depths of family ties, a monster lurks inside
A sister's love turned to deadly spite, a heart that's lost its light
Over a meal, a trivial thing, she unleashed her wicked sting
A TV dinner, a spark that ignited, a rage that would not subside 

[Chorus]
Beware the shadows within, the demons that we can't define
A family bond can turn to poison, a love that's lost its way in time
I see the darkness in her eyes, a warning sign, a fatal surprise
Will I survive, or will I fall, to the shadows that enthrall? 

[Verse 2]
All these years of my life, and still I face, the terror of her angry strife
Two dozen times, she's tried to take my life, and still I breathe, but for how long?
The police came but turned a blind eye until the day she crossed the line
Now she's behind bars, but I know she'll be back, with a vengeance that will attack 

[Chorus]
Beware the shadows within, the demons that we can't define
A family bond can turn to poison, a love that's lost its way in time
I see the darkness in her eyes, a warning sign, a fatal surprise
Will I survive, or will I fall, to the shadows that enthrall? 

[Bridge]
I'll rise up, and I'll make a stand, against the evil that's in her hand
I'll shout it out, to the world outside, beware the shadows that we can't hide
For in the darkness, a killer's born, and I'll be the one, who'll wear the scorn 

[Chorus]
Beware the shadows within, the demons that we can't define
A family bond can turn to poison, a love that's lost its way in time
I see the darkness in her eyes, a warning sign, a fatal surprise
Will I survive, or will I fall, to the shadows that enthrall? 

[Outro]
So listen close, and heed my warning sign, for in the shadows, a killer's mind
May be lurking, waiting to strike, beware the shadows, that we can't ignite.

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes for when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'm at my limit of follows and I want to follow back everyone who follows me. Did not know that SoundCloud limits us to following only 2000. 😢
