This book is dedicated to my Mum and Lupus. Lupus is a disease that attacks all parts of your body. It is an autoimmune disease that many affects woman aged 15-45. In 2006 my mom was diagnosed with lupus. It is not a very well known disease and there is currently no cure. I like to think that if people are aware of this disease then scientists will be able to help everyone with lupus, including my mum. I got into songwriting about a year ago and already I have written over 10 songs and released an EP called Broken Records. I love writing songs because it is a great way to express yourself. This is a book full of my songs, photos, poems and artwork. The End It’s always too hard to run. It’s always too hard to hide. But if you carry on, no matter if you go wrong, You’re going to make it. It’s always too hard to back down. It’s always too hard to hit the ground. But if you carry on to the horizon, You’ll get to the end of the world. And I’m running too fast I’m going to escape my past. And I’ll climb every mountain and I’ll follow the rivers, To get to the end. To the end It’s always too hard to run. It’s always too hard to hide. But if you carry on, no matter if you go wrong, You’re going to make it. And I’m running too fast I’m going to escape my past. And I’ll climb every mountain and I’ll follow the rivers, To get to the end. To the end Memories If I can’t get you the moon. Does it mean I can’t still be with you? I want to be able to give you everything and a little bit more. If I can’t give you my all. Does it mean I only stand two foot tall? If I can’t have the boy I love the most, I’ll give you everything and a little bit more. I’ll give you everything and a little bit more. It was when we had our first dance. I said I loved you and you gave me a chance. And then you took me down to the coast. These are the memories I remember the most. And all the people will make fun. When we lie side by side looking at the sun. But I will block it out, And keep giving you everything and a little bit more I’ll keep giving you everything and a little bit more. It was when we had our first dance. I said I loved you and you gave me a chance. And then you took me down to the coast. These are the memories I remember the most. If I can’t get you the moon. Does it mean I can’t still be with you? The Old Tree It stands tall, branches wide. As if it wants to hold you in an embrace. Trees like this are hard to find. It’s as if they come from a different race. Its trunk gnarled, showing age. But it might not live for much longer. Because now we are at a stage. When the tree is not getting any stronger. People, they are the biggest enemy. They chop it down for wood. Killing the dear old tree. This is so sad and really not good. All the animals, they lost their home. Killing the tree is costly for all. Now they have no where to go. There is no tree that stands as tall. It stood tall, branches wide. All it wanted was an embrace. All the trees have been moved aside. Now there are farms in their place I wrote this poem after watching a programme on tv about the planet. Every second an area the size of a football field is lost too deforestation. We have known about deforestation for a very long time but no one has done anything about it. Lots of animals have become endangered because of habitat loss including many different species of monkey. I hope that we can save the planet but we need to do something fast. Scientist have dis- covered that in 12 years climate change will be- come irreversible. The butterfly is one of the symbols for Lupus. They symbol life and prosperity. They are very delicate insects which shows how precious life is. Mama You’re a fighter. You stay strong through the hard times. You’re my mama. And I’ll love you ‘till I die. You stand up tall when the doctors call, So, I sing mama. Your disease is meant to hurt you, But it only makes you get up, and you will never be brought down to the ground. You’re a fighter. You stay strong through the hard times. You’re my mama. And I’ll love you ‘till I die. You stand up tall when the doctors call, So, I sing mama. Protest They want to be heard, But their calls will fall to silence. Some think they are absurd. But they don’t mean any violence. They join together, chanting loud. ‘the earth is dying, the earth’s dying.’ All together, they sound so proud, But no one cares that they are crying. Some deny that the facts are true. But we all know what is going on. It may not be because of me and you. But if we don’t act fast, our world WILL BE GONE. I wrote this poem because of all of the climate change protests that have been happening. The main leader of these protests is Extinction Rebellion. I think that cli- mate change is something that is really important but it still seems like it is pushed to the side. We have known about the ozone layer for years but the issue is still there. Nightfall I will travel until the end of the world for you. I won’t leave a stone unturned and you know that it’s true. I will travel until the end of the world for you I will climb the mountains high and swim the oceans blue. I will search on and on. I won’t stop until night fall. Because I still love you. I will see you soon I will search on and on. I won’t stop until night fall. Because I still love you. I will see you soon I will search on and on. I won’t stop until night fall. Because I still love you. I will see you soon Changes I hope that you know, just before you go, That these changes, oh changes. Will never change the way I looked at you yesterday, But these are changes just changes. I love you so, so these changes will never let go of our love, Of our love. I know it’s going to be hard to look back at our past, But I know it’s for the best. The changes I hope that you know, I’ll miss you when you go. Oh changes, oh changes. We knew it would be soon, that our life was through, But these are changes, just changes. And here I’m going to let go, These changes will smash through my soul. To see your empty chair in the corner over there. Oh changes, changes. I love you so, so these changes will never let go of our love, Of our love. I know it’s going to be hard to look back at our past, But I know it’s for the best. The changes Aeroplanes The clouds in the sky won’t go away. Ever since that horrid day. The summer is still yet to come. I’m waiting for you and the sun. I’m waiting for the day, When you say why you went astray. And I’ll be watching aeroplanes. I want them to take me away. Aeroplanes. The sun is still not here. I am filled with all the fear. That you’ll never make it back. I feel like I’m starting to crack I’m waiting for the day, When you say why you went astray. And I’ll be watching aeroplanes. I want them to take me away. Aeroplanes. I’m waiting for the day, When you say why you went astray. And I’ll be watching aeroplanes. I want them to take me away. Aeroplanes. Broken records is the name of my new EP!!!!! It has 5 songs in it including Aero- planes, Memories and The End but the main song was Broken Records. It took a long time but it was such a big learning experi- ence for me. It really opened my eyes and made me realise how difficult the music in- dustry is. It is crazy how many times you have to record the same harmony, or Broken Records It was the sweet spell of love that blew me away. You are all I’m thinking of everyday. I remember last summer when we had it all. We were dancing together. How could we fall? I can’t hear you now. The music got too loud and its drowning out your voice. I can’t hear you now. The music got too loud. Can’t stop the noise. There may be times when it doesn’t go to plan. I guess that you just weren’t my man.
