(Verse 1)
Nobody hears the silence in my head,
They only see the storm they think I bred.
Blamed for things I never chose,
Carrying weight nobody knows.
I spoke the truth, but they turned away,
Judged by my age, like I’ve had my say.
But I’m still growing, still trying to breathe,
Wishing someone would just believe.
(Chorus)
I’m 27, not made of stone,
I’ve cried in shadows, broke alone.
I bleed, I break, I feel it too,
I’m not a ghost, I’m human too.
Don’t write my story without the page,
Don’t lock me in your silent cage.
I’ve been screaming, can’t you see?
I’m a soul, I’m a heart — I’m still me.
(Verse 2)
They point fingers, never ask why,
Paint me with lies, while I quietly die.
Forced into choices I didn’t want to make,
Now I live with every mistake.
Where were they when I needed grace?
When fear and guilt wore my face?
I never asked for the pain I hold,
But it’s mine now — silent and cold.
(Chorus)
I’m 27, not made of stone,
I’ve cried in shadows, broke alone.
I bleed, I break, I feel it too,
I’m not a ghost, I’m human too.
Don’t write my story without the page,
Don’t lock me in your silent cage.
I’ve been screaming, can’t you see?
I’m a soul, I’m a heart — I’m still me.
(Bridge)
So listen close, I need to be heard,
Not as your judgment, but as a word.
A cry for truth, a cry for light,
A hope to make it through the night.
(Final Chorus)
I’m 27, still finding my way,
Still learning to live, to speak, to stay.
I bleed, I break, I feel it too,
I’m not a ghost, I’m human too.
Don’t turn away like they all do—
Look in my eyes... I’m just like you.
