Out of Sight...

Out of Sight

So much noise that only I can hear,
Building up from past years,
All the time in the world,
And yet so scared, like a little girl.

Out of sight, out of mind,
If only time could unwind.

Cursed to always look behind,
Stuck in the prison of my mind,
Yearning to at last be free,
Back to the girl I used to be,

Out of sight, out of mind,
If only time could unwind.

Away from this endless night,
And finally stepping into the light,
Back to a time I didn't let you down,
Why can't I get it right now?

Out of sight, out of mind,
If only time could unwind.

All I want is to see you proud,
But the noise is so loud,
How to make it right?
And find the strength to fight?

Out of sight, out of mind,
If only time could unwind.

Longing for the noise to cease,
Dying to keep the peace,
Destined to be the little girl,
Who needs saving from the world.

Out of sight, out of mind,
If only time could unwind.

One day I will be strong,
Like you have been for so long,
I'm sorry but it's just so hard,
I wish your life wasn't so scarred,

Out of sight, out of mind,
If only time could unwind.

You know I'll never stop loving you,
It's because of you that I've got through,
The rough times we've encountered and seen,
You're the best person you could have been.

Out of sight but never from my mind,
If only our time together could unwind.

You always taught me life isn't fair,
But I'm stuck in an endless nightmare,
No one to blame but myself,
Always the one left on the shelf.

Out of sight, out of mind,
Maybe it's too late for time to unwind.

TMI Travel Tag...

1. What was the last country you visited?
Last country I visited was.....Mallorca with my best friend Claire. We went in 2013 and it was the first time I have ever flown in an aeroplane! It was such a weird feeling when we took off and I've fairly sure I nearly broke Claire's hand during it.


  
2. How many countries have you visited?
I have been to Spain, Italy, France, Ireland, England, Scotland so um...6 

  
3. What is your favourite place on the planet that you have been to?
I would have to say France. I love the language and their food. I went to France a lot as child with my Mum, mainly to Brittany. My first proper family holiday was to Disneyland Paris where I went with my Mum, Dad and my younger sister. I would love to live there someday!
 
 
4. Favourite place in your home country?
Wow, that is a tough one. I've visited so many places in the UK. I would have to say its between York and Edinburgh. I lived in York a total of 3 times for approximately 9 years, hence the slight Yorkshire twang to my accent. I love York because of how historical it is. My favourite place was the Museum Gardens where I did revision for my GCSEs, wrote part of my dissertation for university and read several books during my time there. However, I currently live in Edinburgh and it reminds me so much of York except its in my home country of Scotland.

 

 5. If you could board a plane now, where would you go?
I would go to New York. Since I was a young girl, I have always wanted to go to New York. It is such a vibrant city with so much culture. Growing up, I wanted to be an actress on Broadway but it was to be a dream that I wouldn't achieve. 

Ooo, or I would go to New Orleans! As a tenor saxophonist, I adore jazz music and New Orleans is famous for its jazz both nowadays and in history.

 
6. What's your cup of tea - Tropical island getaway, snowy ski break, or city exploring trips?
Well, I burn far too easily so tropical island is off. I love the snow but I have zero balance so I guess it would have to be city exploring!
 
 
 
 7. What are your top 3 hand luggage must-haves?
I must have my Iphone with my music, especially if it involves flying! I'm not sure other than that. I guess my sunglasses are a must if I have contact lenses in and if its somewhere sunny, I have to have a lot of suncream!

 

 8. Any travel tips to share?
Travelling with a friend is always much more fun than travelling alone! I would also suggest trying to get involved with some of the culture of the country. As for me, I love learning languages so I try to learn some of the native language as well when I go somewhere new. Even here in the UK, I try to learn local slang and local dialects.

 

 9. Most embarrassing moment abroad.
Oh gosh. Um...in Mallorca with Claire, she let me fall asleep on the sun loungers and I got badly sunburnt on my legs. When I woke up, I could hardly move and whenever I tried to go into the pool to cool my legs down, I let out a tiny, very girly scream! Later that night, when I was sleeping, so Claire tells me, I started mumbling in my sleep and told her I would meet her by the orange sun loungers before accidentally slapping her in the face! Weird thing being the sun loungers at the hotel were blue!
 

 
10. Biggest disappointment.
I'm not sure I've ever really been disappointed on my travels. I guess Disneyland Paris wasn't the best holiday. I was too small to go on the roller coasters by myself but neither my parents would come on with me as my mum is petrified of heights and my dad isn't very good with them either. It was also during that holiday I found out my parents were getting divorced.

 

 
11. Nicest surprise.
Going to Marine-Land or Marine-World (can't remember what it's called) while in Mallorca was really good! I loved seeing the dolphins performing and it was just amazing!

 

 12. Three places at the tip of the travel bucket list.
New York, Rome and Antarctica. Don't ask about Antarctica!

 

 
13. Favourite food discovery. 
I don't really know. I vaguely remember trying horse when I was younger but I can't remember if I liked it. I do remember trying Croque Monsieurs while in France and adored them! 
 

14. Why do you travel?
I love going to new places and getting involved with other cultures. Also, because I've moved around so much, travelling is kind of the same but without the hassle of carting all my belongings around!

 

 15. What 3 things would you take on holiday/going travelling if you could?
I would definitely take my sketchpad so I could draw my new surroundings. I'd also take a TARDIS with me so I could travel back in time as well as around the world! And finally, I'd take my best friends Claire, Tanya and Helena with me :)

 
16. Have you picked up any phrases from travelling?
Well, people from work have told me I use "alright" a lot from York. I also use quite a lot of slang from Berwick-upon-Tweed, such as "Mortal" for drunk. Other than that, I use the occasionally French phrase but nothing else that comes to mind.
 

 17. What two places would you not go back to and why?
I would definitely go back to Paris, not just Disneyland but the whole city. I recently discovered I love the adrenaline rush from roller coasters so the chance to go to Disneyland would be amazing! 

I would also go back to the Pyrenees. I went there on a camping trip with Scouts when I was 13 and it was truly an amazing experience. I went absailing, rock climbing, into caves and just some amazing things. 

 
18. Your dream travel companion.
My dream travel companion would have to be someone who shared my love for travelling and culture. Someone open minded and someone who wanted to experience new things! So far, I've only travelled with family or my friend Claire.
 

19. Most surreal travel moment.
I would definitely say my first time flying was surreal! It was such a weird feeling when we took off. I had no idea what to expect and apart from nearly breaking Claire's hand, it was amazing. I loved it when we flew over some mountains (I can't remember which ones) and the view was spectacular!
 

 
20. Three people you would like to see do this tag?
I don't have three people to tag :( But I will tag another of my best friends, the lovely and amazing Tanya :)
