Looking for a mentor

Hey everyone, I've been writing for about 11 months now and im trying to figure out how to advance and get better and get it read/heard/criticized to learn how to improve some of the points that im not great at. So if someone who is actually signed or has been writing songs that get cut, etc. Just someone who knows what caliber of writing I need to get to before I start demoing and sending them out. Not exactly looking for a co-writer but. Just need someone outside of friends and family to really put me under a microscope. You can only get so good by yourself, and i live in a small city in canada so I dont really have any writers to work with

Hi, I’ve written songs before, but haven’t posted them anywhere yet. This isn’t one of my first attempts at writing songs, but I’d love the feedback.

Title: Just the Birds and Me.
Intro.
upbeat groovy piano with quiet acoustic guitar in the background and light percussion Verse 1. This feeling in my heart is tearing me apart.
What am I to do? This feeling is so new.
If I could fly high up there in the sky,
I would feel alive, then my dream would finally come true. Prechorus. if I could just unfurl my wings and head up to that bright blue sky, that would be all right with me if I could only fly. chorus. I would feel so free if it was just me,
High up in the clouds where the wind is the only sound.
I would shout hooray if there were a way,
I could glide through the trees, just the birds and me. verse 2. My dreams have showed me what I can do with such a power That’s oh so true, but once I wake for those wings, my heart does ache Prechorus. if I could just unfurl my wings, and head up to that bright blue sky that would be all right with me if I could only fly. chorus. I would feel so free if it was just me,
High up in the clouds where the wind is the only sound.
I would shout hooray if there were a way,
I could glide through the trees, just the birds and me. bridge. In my dreams, I’ve glided over land and see, but sadly in the real world that’s not me. My hopeful heart is tied down to this cold hard ground. Final chorus. I would feel so free if it was just me,
High up in the clouds where the wind is the only sound.
I would shout hooray if there were a way,
I could glide through the trees, just the birds and me.
