Verse 1
I’ve carried this weight since I was nine,
A fragile home, walking a fractured line.
They don’t see the battles I fight,
Alone in the dark, no end in sight.
They say I’m drifting, call me lost,
Judge my soul without knowing the cost.
Marks they measure don’t define me,
But they see the end where I see my story.
Pre-Chorus
No one hears my quiet screams,
No one sees my shattered dreams.
They just point, they just blame,
Never ask about my pain.
Chorus
I’m drowning, unheard in the crowd,
A voice silenced, trying to scream out loud.
They want my path, they want control,
But this is my life, my beating soul.
I’ve tried, oh I’ve tried,
But no one sees what’s inside.
Verse 2
I told them my heart beats for the unseen,
But they chased the light of a colder dream.
Visions of gold , that all they see,
While I dream of healing and setting minds free.
A sister's faith falters, fragile and thin
They don’t see the fire I've held within.
Judged by shadows that dim my way,
As if my efforts were dust that fades away.
Pre-Chorus
No one hears my quiet screams,
No one sees my broken dreams.
They just point, they just blame,
Never ask about my pain.
Chorus
I’m drowning, unheard in the crowd,
A voice silenced, trying to scream out loud.
They want my path, they want control,
But this is my life, my beating soul.
I’ve tried, oh I’ve tried,
But no one sees what’s inside.
Bridge
They’ll never know the strength it takes,
To stand tall while your spirit breaks.
But I’ll rise, though the weight’s unfair,
Prove I’m more than their blank stares.
Final Chorus
I was drowning, unheard in the crowd,
But now I’m fighting, speaking out loud.
I’ll carve my path, defy their mold,
This is my story, it can’t be controlled.
I’ll rise, oh I’ll rise,
No more hiding what’s inside.
Outro
I’m stronger than they’ll ever know,
Through the cracks, I’ll let love grow.
This is my fight, my truth, my song,
In their silence, I’ll prove them wrong.
