I shouldn't be writing this at the first place
Why would I explain myself to a stranger, to you.
But still, I wanted you to listen
To a story not worth telling to anyone I know
Have you ever felt ignored? Unheard all the time.
I do.
It's harder than being voiceless
Little voices wanted to escape my head but the doorway's always closed
Have you ever felt anger so much, you wanted to just burst it all out in their faces
I do.
But still, I chose to just turn my back and lock myself in my own darkness
I'd rather chose to kill them with silence
Than to stab them with my words
Have you ever tried giving up every single thing that keeps you alive
I do.
So I can live with their expectations
Giving up what I want
So I can be wanted in return.
Have you ever felt sucked up so much it just leaves you so empty?
I do.
But still, still it felt like I've always lacked
As if I wasn't enough
It made me ask myself when will simply my existence be enough.
Have you ever set yourself aside so you can live by their shadows?
I do.
It's like playing fools.
Trying to convince myself its me but it's not, what a hypocrite.
Have you felt like you're in puppet show?
I do.
Every actions controlled by the strings of this egoistic society
Watched by eyes full of judgment and criticisms
Trust me, they'll overlook you best but number your flaws
Is life a game? a competition?
Cause it if is, I'm a total loser.
How would fighting make sense?
If life's a game where everyone's loosing.
A different definition to silence and to those who chose not to say a thing at all
