Getting pushed away

[Intro]
Lost in the shadows, searching for my way
Feeling the weight of words they always say

[Verse 1]
Why does it feel like I’m fighting a tide
Pushed to the edges, wanting to hide
They want control, to shape who I am
But I’m breaking free, I gotta take a stand

[Pre-Chorus]
Can’t understand why they hold so tight
Craving my silence, stealing my light
But I won’t be a shadow, I’ll find my own dawn
Gotta rise above, can't keep moving on?

[Chorus]
Why do they push me away?
Why do they want me to stay?
I need to break free today
Find my own path, find my own way

[Verse 2]
They want me to follow, to fit in a mold
But inside I’m burning, I’m feeling so cold
I’ve got my voice, I’m learning to yell
Won't let their wishes cast me in a shell

[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to understand the game they play
But I won’t be a puppet, I won’t stray
Searching for freedom in this heavy rain
Holding on to hope, easing the pain

[Chorus]
Why do they push me away?
Why do they want me to stay?
I need to break free today
Find my own path, find my own way

[Bridge]
This is my story, I hold the pen
No more pretending, no more pretend
Breaking these chains, I'll find my voice
Making my choice, I’ll make my own noise

[Outro]
Standing tall, I’ll face the sun
Free from their shadows, I’ve just begun
To be who I am, not who they say
Walking my own road, come what may

Rap, gentle guitar, gentle beat
