I’m barely just eighteen, with a heart full of dreams,
But shadows in my mind, they tear at the seams.
Smiling faces all around, but there’s silence in my soul,
Feeling like a ghost, in a story untold.
Why do I feel like I lived my life,
A thousand lifetimes wrapped in strife?
Underneath the weight of every sigh,
I’m searching for a reason, as the moments fly.
Why do I feel so alone,
When I’m surrounded by family I’ve always known?
In a house filled with laughter, I stand apart,
A stranger to the world, with a heavy heart.
Why do I feel so outta place,
In a world full of humankind, I can’t find my space?
Caught in the echoes, lost in the fray,
Trying to find my voice, in the words left unsaid today.
With every birthday candle, I’m counting the years,
But wisdom feels like whispers, drowned in my fears.
Chasing fleeting moments, but they slip through my hands,
Like grains of sand in an endless land.
Why do I feel like I lived my life,
Each joy entwined with shadows of strife?
I look in the mirror, but it’s hard to see,
The person I should be, the one meant to be free.
Why do I feel so alone,
When I’m surrounded by family I’ve always known?
In a house filled with laughter, I stand apart,
A stranger to the world, with a heavy heart.
Why do I feel so outta place,
In a world full of humankind, I can’t find my space?
Caught in the echoes, lost in the fray,
Trying to find my voice, in the words left unsaid today.
Maybe one day, I’ll find my way,
Through the fog and the doubt, into the light of day.
But for now, I’m wandering, in a dream that feels faint,
With hope in my pocket, and a heart that can’t taint.
Why do I feel so alone,
When I’m surrounded by family I’ve always known?
In a house filled with laughter, I stand apart,
A stranger to the world, with a heavy heart.
Why do I feel so outta place,
In a world full of humankind, I can’t find my space?
Caught in the echoes, lost in the fray,
Trying to find my voice, in the words left unsaid today.
So I’ll keep on searching, through the night and the day,
For a piece of my spirit, in this vast array.
And maybe one day, I’ll finally see,
The light in the darkness, leading me to be free.
