Black Sheep in the Shadows

(Male voice: black eyes pees)

You people need to listen to this this is my cry out to stop all the bullshit and pay attention.

In the shadows where I linger,

In the silence, thoughts grow darker,

A heart that beats with hidden thunder,

Where joy once danced, now lies asunder.

Waking up to empty faces,

Silent screams in crowded places,

Every smile feels like a mask,

No one dares to ask or bask.

Leaned on the walls of my despair,

Wishing for a way to share,

But words get lost, they fall away,

Where did the light go, where's the day?

I'm a black sheep in a field of white,

Running from the day to the night,

Chasing shadows, lost in the fray,

No one sees me, or cares anyway.

Anxiety wraps around my mind,

Heartbeat races, but I'm confined,

Breath caught like a thief in the night,

In a room full of people, I feel no light.

Want to break free from this weighted chain,

But love feels like a silent refrain,

What do I do when I'm left behind,

Echoes of hope just undermine.

I'm a black sheep in a field of white,

Running from the day to the night,

Chasing shadows, lost in the fray,

No one sees me, or cares anyway.

Thoughts spiral down like falling leaves,

With every turn, my chest it heaves,

But I won't let this define my soul,

I’ll fight this darkness, reclaim control.

So here I stand, in all my pain,

Through this struggle, there's strength I gain,

Maybe one day, I’ll find my way,

From the corners of night into the day.
