Alone in the dark
With a shark that could bite
A heart of stone
That I've come to possess
Broken and shattered because I dared to love
To be accepted and loved.
I've been deprived of happiness
I wallow in sadness
Surrounded by hopelessness
Pitied and scorned.
Maybe I shouldn't have tried to get closer to you.
All I did was try to understand you.
But trust, I only wanted to be accepted.
I've been lonely for long
But that was my folly.
I shouldn't have neared.
I'm lost in my world.
My heart apart in shreds.
I dared to love and I was hurt
The shattered pieces of my heart remain in places I no longer belong.
I've been afraid for long
I've been lonely in life.
But now I'm more afraid of the shark I've become.
I don't know if I can or if I should
But I dare to live again
I've been dead for long
My heart aches to live again
Life is no comfort
And tomorrow I dread most
But I want to live
You don't have to accept me
I don't need the world
All they do is judge me and what I've become
Shooting daggers of glares at my wayI just need me
and the beam I once flushed.
I know I can be happy
And I dare to be.
I'm afraid to be on my own
Alone in the dark
With the shark in me.
