Finding My Way in Shadows

In a crowded room, but I'm here alone,

Searching for a heart, something to call my own.

Fading in shadows, caught in the dark,

Trying to find words, to light up a spark.

Sitting on the sidelines, watching life go by,

Questions in my head, but I don't ask why.

Faces all around me, laughter fills the air,

But inside my chest, there's a weight of despair.

I wear these masks, but they never fit right,

Wrestling with feelings deep into the night.

Trying to belong, in a world so cold,

Understanding myself, but it’s hard to be bold.

All these stars in the sky, but I still feel gray,

Finding love in the shadows, where I’m too afraid to stay.

Caught between worlds, it's a delicate phase,

I’m a fire in the rain, but my heart’s a maze.

Whispers in hallways, they don't know my name,

Painting over colors, but it’s all still the same.

Running from the truth, still standing in line,

Searching for connection, but I’m lost in the signs.

With every heartbeat, I’m closer to fall,

The weight of my secrets feels like it’s all,

Crashing around me, but I’ll forge my way free,

In a world full of questions, I’ll learn how to be me.

All these stars in the sky, but I still feel gray,

Finding love in the shadows, where I’m too afraid to stay.

Caught between worlds, it's a delicate phase,

I’m a fire in the rain, but my heart’s a maze.

So I’ll scream to the silence, let my voice be heard,

No more hiding away, I’m spreading my words.

Through the pain and the solitude, I’ll start to embrace,

Every part of me – I’ll find my own place.

All these stars in the sky, but I still feel gray,

Finding love in the shadows, where I’m too afraid to stay.

Caught between worlds, it's a delicate phase,

I’m a fire in the rain, but my heart’s a maze.

In a crowded room, I’m learning to shine,

Standing up for my truth, revealing this mind.

With every heartbeat, I’m ready to brave,

Finding my colors; I’ll no longer cave.
