THE SONG I MADE: To Set Yourself Free
During working days, my husband and I wake up at exactly 4:00 early in the morning everyday because of his early work schedule. One morning around 6:00 o'clock my husband was gone for work already and I was alone at home. I was at our living room and sitting on our couch and playing my guitar when all of a sudden I heard a loud bang sound on our backdoor and I freak out with the unusual noise as if somebody was trying to break our backdoor. It was funny though because I felt like somebody just throw me upstairs and I can barely recall I run up on our stairs. I slowly and carefully locked our bedroom door and that's when I finally took a deep breath. I also surprised that I was still holding my guitar, I didn't realize I was able to take it with me when I run upstairs despite of being so extremely terrified. I sat down, and when I look at beside my bed there was inkpen and a piece of paper. So I thought of composing a song, made my own lyrics so as my own accompaniment using my new yamaha guitar, I was thinking that might be a smart despise not to think of that terrifying sound and not be scared anymore. An hour pass , I was able to make a simple lyrics already, and tried a lot of notes to make it sounds right. Then I played the notes of the song with guitar accompaniment and finally got the guitar chords. I sang the song and played with guitar over and over, until I realize I was able to make my very own song. Then I finally saw a sunlight coming through our bathroom window, it was then that I know it's already daylight and I already have courage to go downstairs and check out what happened on our backdoor. Well, guess what happened? It was a bird that maybe bang himself on our glass door. I know it was a bird because there are lots of bird feathers in front of the door. NOW, the best part of my morning at that time was I know I am safe, and then the fun part is I made a song by my own for no reason at all. And I titled it "To Set Yourself Free", sometimes when you feel like the whole world is all against you, you're in pain with heart breaks, you're in the midst of hopelessness and regrets, all you need to do is look around you, feel the air and take a breath, and you will realize you're still alive. So, for as long as you live there will always be a CHANCE. A chance for us to move on, a chance for us to face a new horizon and a chance for a new life worth living.
