Question

So, I've been trying to learn how to write songs, and what I've got is okay so far, but I've started out by writing small poems. My mom took my 'songs/poems' and said that if I want to write songs or poems, I have to be real. My songs are mostly about love and my bf helped me write one. She says I'm too wrapped up in a boy. I love him and he's my muse and I'm his muse because he writes songs too and they are about love and me. Why can't anyone understand I am in love with him??

Answer 1

I think that a lot of people don't believe others when they say they're in love for multiple reasons. One reason is because of people's ages. You know the whole "you're too young to be in love" thing. Or sometimes others think that teens always have crushes or people they like so they don't take a teen being in love so seriously. There's also the thing about how some young people call everything love even when it's clearly not.

Whatever their reasoning may be, if you two are truly in love I'm happy for you and love is always a great topic for both poetry and music.

Answer 2

I did this in Junior High and it's fine. Eventually you'll realize that love isn't what you thought it was. That aside, I think what your Mom is actually saying is that you're limiting your musical creation by focusing on this guy. There's so many influences and "muses" in the world that to limit yourself to just one is going to give you minimal results in writing music.

However, my main point that I want to emphasize is that music is a lot more than the words. Lyrics are good and important but they are just words until they have a supporting melody, harmony, etc.

Answer 3

@DanHowell thank you. We've been together for 6 months and I am his first girlfriend and he's 17. We were each other's firsts in ALOT of stuff and he told me that he'd wait for me until I turn 18 because my mom doesn't want me talking to him until I'm 18 and out of her care. It makes me so mad that she said that. I really do love him and he really loves me. I know him and when he makes promises like that, he definitely will keep his promises. It really hurts me because I can't see or talk to him until I turn 18 and I've cried every day. He told me he'd wait for me, and that he's loyal to me and only me. He isn't going to date another girl or get serious with another girl, and I believe him. We have trust in each other, and now, I can't even write my songs or poems anymore because he was always there when I would write and now he's not here. And he won't be until I turn 18. I can't write a happy song when he's not here with me... I'm upset.)':

Answer 4

Aww, you both sound extremely cute together. I hope he waits and I hope you end up with him for a long time, the future holds many possibilities for both of your love life's. Hopefully he keeps all his promises. Anyway, it sounds like your mother is just being protective of you and that's understandable but I also understand why you're upset. Still, I know you're both clinging onto love but don't forget that there are other people available for you both, there are people your age that you both won't have to wait for if either of you ever decide to move on. Don't limit yourself, I also mean that poetry and song wise too. You can write about your love for him, but also explore your other feelings too. Use this sadness for lyrics too, use your mother's frustrations, just write about everything and leave yourself emotionally available.

Answer 5

Thank you. And I understand there are other people out there, but I just don't look at guys like I used to when I wasn't with him. He's told me the same thing. Before me, he could look at girls and think of himself with them, but as soon as me and him got together, he swore he just can't picture himself with someone else, and that's how I feel also. He told me he's never moving on, and even if he could, he wouldn't because I'm his true love. And he loves me and only me. He's even proceeded to call me Mrs. Davis since he gave me a promise ring to never leave me and to promise that he's waiting for me. He's my true love, and even if I could move on, I never would. I love him and I definitely miss him.

Answer 6

Because despite the fact that people have experienced that love, some people are too wraped up in themselves to notice that in a lot of ways it is the same love they once had. Your mom might just be trying to protect you... from heart break i guess...

Answer 7

The promise ring is such a sweet gesture, honestly, you two sound like you'll eventually be fine and this is just a small obatacle in your way. Everything will turn out the way it's suppose to. Time is gonna fly by and you'll go from missing him to always being with him. ❤

Answer 8

@DanHowell Thank you so so much for believing in us!! It means so much to me and I know that if he could see this, he'd be very appreciative of you too!!!

Answer 9

You're VERY welcome! I'm just glad to see two happy people united by love. Good luck! :)

Answer 10

I understand. You should be able to write about what you like. You're not "too wrapped up in a boy" if you enjoy writing about him, that's what you should do. I don't really enjoy songwriting cause I only really do it when I'm sad but that's me. Don't listen to what your mom says cause that's wrong.

On another note, you and your boyfriend sound really cute together and from what I've read I'm confident that he'll wait for you and be there when you're 18 :)

Answer 11

Answer 13

@soprano.h.d0816 no problem :)

Answer 14

honestly; I've been in this same situation for 3 years. I have been dating my boyfriend since that time. My mother doesn't like me doing anything with him and tells me the same exact thing as yours does. He recently proposed to me (after a month or two of having a promise ring...he told me that a promise just wasnt good enough) but I understand how you feel. if you ever need to rant; pm me :)

Answer 15

@RhondaSommer min proposed to me and told me the same thing, but he also said that the engagement ring he gave me was also a promise to never leave me and that he'd wait for me(: And thank you so much(: you're an amazing friend(:

Answer 20

although he is your muse try writing about other muses :) what else do you like? I love the fall time when the different colors of the leaves come out and fall. you can always write about other muses and combine them in your own ways...
like, " and like the autumn leaves my heart fell"
well something like that, put your emotion into it and make it you... make it real

Answer 21

@Adrianna.Gongora thank you so much!!(: And I actually had something similar to that line in one of my songs lol

Answer 22

:) glad I could help I used to write songs and then I don't know anger got the best of me I stopped writing and threw all my songs away. I'm just barley starting to do it again.

Answer 23

@Adrianna.Gongora I've had problems similar. I got so depressed I threw everything I'd written away at one point

Answer 24

Well I learned, at the end of everything you need to do what makes you happy :) it's you who is gonna have to suffer at the end take risk but not dare deviling that would probably end up bad :) haha just make sure to focus on the good things in life and the things that make you happy, the negatives will only put you back into a bad place :)
