Voices Within

In the shadows of fame, I stand alone,

Chasing dreams, but losing my own.

Fingers point, and voices shout,

Yet inside, it’s a quiet doubt.

Behind the mask, I hide my scars,

A heart weighed down by distant stars.

They cheer for me, but they don’t see,

The burden I bear silently.

I ask myself, “Is this the way?”

But I keep going, day by day.

A voice within says, “Stay strong, stay true,”

For the only one to save me is me, not you.
