TL;DR: Went to a meetup, felt crappy, didn't sing till now, feel less crappy
Firstly, here's a long story, feel I can write this on here. I have never sang or played guitar in front of friends or strangers the way I do on nana. I wanted to change this and meet other musicians.
So a few weeks ago I attended this meetup for songwriters, it was really chill, we were only 6. The point of the meetup was to sing 2 original songs and give/receive feedback. I couldn't stay for long and just listened, also, most of my original songs are crazy short.
My internal feedback was this; my guitar playing is über basic & now it's really starting to eat at me, because I can't write the songs that I have in my head, something else comes out that I'm never fully happy with. And I felt like my lyrics were just so bad as I have trouble writing about things seriously and not feel like I'm being overdramatic. Or incapable of putting to words any kind of feeling because songwriting can be soulbearing, & any experience I want to put into song just sounds ridiculous as I don't feel like I've really experienced things... I don't know.
I left the meetup session with an annoying feeling & did not sing, play guitar or write till 2 hours ago. This was the result. It's one I am semi-ok with. Anywho, long essay over.

This one has got a title
But I keep getting it all wrong
All my instincts have left me
I've written on every wall
This one has got a corner
Right at the top of a page
I'm filled with every dread
Consuming every thought that I have
I tried to follow the words I can find
The pieces are there am I losing my mind
No I'm not, I'm not

- M. FranklinThank you so much. I am really happy that your able to enjoy my songs, really, it means a lot. There will be some hard times, but everything has a reason I guess.
- 09_nathanI think it sounded lovely and not to say all the time but sometimes less is more when it comes to acoustics and depth in lyrics, (like simple can still be just as heartfelt and deep)and btw feel free to delete this if you want i might be giving tmi lol but I read what you wrote and in my opinion i personal can relate to or appreciate chill songs like this, and maybe the "serious " or deeper personal things you want to write are more relatable (to more people)than what you think ya know 💭? there are actually most likely more ppl out there that can relate to you than another dramatic lived life of an artist like Amy Winehouse or someone who had a roller coaster 🎢trip of a life ... And maybe you are ready in your heart to bring things more lyrically in depth and personal but from an internal and maybe even some subconscious internal defense of a wall is blocking you knowing that putting more personal things out there for the 🌍to see is a vulnerable thing that could possibly be what's deterring you from getting to that next level 📈lyrically or musically ... Let's face it it is really like putting yourself your most sensitive parts of your life out there for all to see... But i personally think that is the only way to go like if you're gonna write 📝then make it therapeutic and go all out in my opinion but i myself also haven't starting writing songs yet ✍so i cant speak out of experience... Forgive the long letter 📨I'm just thinking out loud 💬i hope I'm making sense if not my intentions are pure and I've always respected your art 🎨and regardless if you are able to what you were having trouble doing (which i totally think you can push through🌱) you're still like her comment above mine said👆🏼an amazing artist like legit spotify or iTunes worthy artist✨
