So, I took a look in your pieces of work. It is really nice to see how active you are in writing, I mean, you are inspired by something, that's a thing I can tell. Now, in a slightly negative manner, I will have to suggest you taking your songwriting a little bit further. Meaning, that you should overcome those 5-12 sentences each song. You better start making more texts in your songs, and not just a few little ideas. For me, somewhy, it seems like you're just doodling a few words together, just to create a song and post it here. Try to concentrate (if you play an instrument, try to find a few chords and a melody), have the feel, be in a neutral mode of deep inspiration, and then start writing your heart out. That's the way you might get a little more successful in your writing. Songwriting is not about your writing skills, but about how emotional and genuine you are.
Hey there, thanks for reading.

Most of what I've posted here aren't actually lyrics, but just poetry. Arguably lyrics (or some lyrics) are poetry, but not all poetry is lyrics.

Although I do write and perform music, I generally prefer to do that instrumentally rather than with lyrics for whatever reason.

Cheers.
