In the mirror, I see two sides of me
One yearning for acceptance, the other wild and free
One wants to blend in, to be just the same
The other longs to stand out, to embrace the flame
I walk a tightrope between conformity and uniqueness
A dance of shadows, a battle of bleakness
I smile on the outside, but inside I'm torn
Between the me I am and the me I mourn
The darkness whispers, sweet promises of peace
To end the pain, to find a release
But deep down, a glimmer of hope still flickers
A yearning to survive, to paint the world with colors
I'm trapped in a maze of doubt and despair
Where the walls echo with my silent prayer
To be accepted, to be loved for who I am
To find the strength to rise above the dam
I long to break free from this cycle of sorrow
To find a way out of this endless morrow
But for now, I'm lost in the depths of my mind
Struggling to find the light, to leave the darkness behind
In this battle between conformity and self
I cling to the hope that one day, I'll find myself
In a world where I can be both different and true
And embrace the pain, knowing I'll make it through.
But if I dont. If I fail.
I know I will go over the rail
Into eternal darkness I seek
Why do I feel empty and bleak?
