Lost in shadows

I used to know what it felt like to smile,

But it’s been so long, I’ve forgotten for a while.

Every step I take feels heavier than before,

Like I’m walking on a road with no end anymore.

I hear whispers in my mind, echoing through the night,

Are they demons or my doubts, pulling me from the light?

I’m trying to fit in, but I don’t know how,

The anger grows inside, and I can't stop it now.

I’m reaching out for help, but no one takes my hand,

Trapped in this silence, no one understands.

Sadness and anger are breaking me apart,

I'm searching for a place to mend my shattered heart.

But the voices get louder, the darkness won’t sleep,

I’m still looking for answers that I never get to keep.

I watch the world, but it feels far away,

Like I’m stuck in a dream that’s gone too gray.

I want to scream, but the words won’t come out,

So I drown in the quiet, lost in my doubt.

People look at me like I’m one of them,

But inside, I’m breaking, again and again.

They say it'll pass, this storm in my chest,

But I can't feel anything, not even my best.

I’m reaching out for help, but no one takes my hand,

Trapped in this silence, no one understands.

Sadness and anger are breaking me apart,

I'm searching for a place to mend my shattered heart.

But the voices get louder, the darkness won’t sleep,

I’m still looking for answers that I never get to keep.

I’m still standing, but it’s not by choice,

I’m just waiting for someone to hear my voice.

Is it too much to ask, to find a way through?

Or am I just lost, with no one to turn to?

I’m reaching out for help, but no one takes my hand,

Trapped in this silence, no one understands.

Sadness and anger are breaking me apart,

I'm searching for a place to mend my shattered heart.

But the voices get louder, the darkness won’t sleep,

I’m still looking for answers that I never get to keep.

I’m still searching... but the silence is what I keep.
