Fifteen Years

(Karianne Gabaldon)

I wrote this song in celebration for my 15 years of writing anniversary. It talks about my life throughout the years; why I started and how I started. Some of my biggest “writing moments”.

(Verse 1) 
 
Thirteen was such a ride; 
Tough, burnt, sad, and tongue tied. 
But I wouldn't give it up, 
For the world, I could give two fucks. 
 
That was the year that I picked up the pen, 
The inspiration had me, and that was all back then. 
And I'd do it again.  
 
(Pre Chorus) 
 
The paper wrote itself, 
Suddenly I needed no help.  
 
(Chorus) 
 
Fifteen years and I have, 
Learned so many things. 
I've learned to conquer and, 
Go and chase my dreams. 
I've loved, I've lusted, 
New friends I've trusted. 
But mostly I've become, 
Someone.  
 
(Verse 2) 
 
My life suddenly changed when, 
I turned sixteen, 
The suicide attempt was kind of selfish and mean. 
But I swear, that day I had no choice, 
I first discovered a voice. 
That got me deeper into writing, 
Even though my brain was subsiding.  
I didn't stop, 
The pen never dropped.  
 
(Pre Chorus) 
 
The paper wrote itself,  
Suddenly I needed no help.  
 
(Chorus) 
 
Fifteen years and I have, 
Learned so many things. 
I've learned to conquer and, 
Go and chase my dreams. 
I've loved, I've lusted, 
New friends I've trusted. 
But mostly I've become, 
Someone.  
 
(Verse 3) 
 
You made it clear you didn't need me, 
When I was 23. 
So I got out my WordPad, 
And wrote profusely.  
I wrote about how, 
You said you needed me now, 
Then said I was Holier than thou. 
And wasn't worth a cat's meow.
