Silent Destruction

Silent shadows in a dim-lit room

Echoes in my mind, I carry the gloom

Nobody hears the words I don’t say

Lost in the shadows, fading away

Who's listening? No one, really

Talking to walls, feels kinda silly

Did I do wrong, or just never right?

Feeling invisible, lost in the night

I hide my tears, I hide the pain

Hoping the silence will ease the strain

Maybe if I disappear, fade into the air

Nobody will notice, nobody cares

Am I a ghost, just passing through?

A worthless nobody, feeling so blue

Wishing I could be seen, but I’m just a shadow

Hoping my sisters will someday grow

Beyond the grief, beyond the pain

I hope they find sun after rain

Maybe I’m human, just misunderstood

Lost in a world that never could

Really see the genuine me

Hoping someday I’ll be free

Talking to myself in a quiet cry

Lessons I learned, wondering why

Turn a blind eye to what I feel

When will my wounds finally heal?

So I’ll keep quiet, keep my distance

In my silent existence, I’ll persist

Hoping one day, someone will see

The person I truly want to be
