Alone & Blue

I feel so alone, so lost in the crowd

With people all around me, but feeling so loud

Their voices blend together, like a symphony

But I’m not sure where I fit in, or where I should be

I have people who love me, who care and support

And I’m forever grateful for all they’ve brought

But my sense of self is slowly slipping away

Like a fading memory that can’t be saved

I used to be someone, with dreams and desires

But now I feel like my flame has been put out by the fire

Of expectations and pressures, of what I should be

Instead of who I am, and what I want to see

But even in this darkness, I see a glimmer of light

A hope for the future, a chance to take flight

To rediscover myself, to find my way back

To the person I once was, before the world attacked

So I hold on to this hope, this spark in the night

And I know that one day, I’ll shine bright

With my individuality, my dreams, and my soul

And I’ll be whole once again, and feel in control.
