Epiphany of the Invisible

Silent thoughts in the quiet night

Questions rise, no end in sight

I used to believe I mattered, I was part of a plan

That someone out there really cared, held me in their hand

But shadows whisper truths I hide, shadows whisper cold

Maybe I’m just a name in the crowd, a story yet untold

Loving eyes see me pass, but do they really see?

Am I just a face in the line, or someone they’d rescue

When the storm winds blow?

When the times get tough, do they even know?

I had an epiphany tonight, I am not important to anyone

People love me, sure, but I am not the one they’d risk their sun

I’m just a might-have-been, an echo in the wind

No one’s guardian, no one’s shield, no one’s holding me within

Dreams of being cherished, of standing tall, of being seen

Are just illusions, fragile threads in a fragile machine

I thought my worth was in their eyes, that I was worth the fight

But now I see the truth is clear: I fade into the night

Loving those around me, I gave all I could give

But love’s not enough when it’s just a gentle flow, not a tide to live

Are they just passing love, or is there more beneath?

Or am I just a shadow in their reef?

I had an epiphany tonight, I am not important to anyone

People love me, sure, but I am not the one they’d risk their sun

I’m just a might-have-been, an echo in the wind

No one’s guardian, no one’s shield, no one’s holding me within

Maybe I’ve been hiding, maybe I’ve been blind

Seeking validation in places I can’t find

But now I know, I own my worth alone

In my own heart, I’ve found my home

So I’ll stand this night, alone but free

Knowing now what truly matters is defining me

And maybe someday love will see my worth

But till then, I’ll cherish the rebirth
