The world is full of jealousy and despair,
For a girl like me,
If you stay, you'll see how it's a nightmare,
To see loneliness everywhere,
While feeling, you'll go nowhere.
You become aware of their pointed stares,
As if you committed a crime,
You weren't aware of it.
It doesn't matter how much you love,
You are still two steps behind.Loneliness is a universal feeling,
That feels everyone with despair and hate,
From time to time.
You wish to be a part of the crowd,
Even though you say you're proud,
To be on your throne,
Of loneliness.
I wish I could rewind my past,
So, maybe I could prevent being an outcast,
But I'm still two steps behind.This loneliness feels like an illness,
That seems to be malice,
Against my mind,
Even with my prettiest lies.
I stopped believing in angels,
Once I realized my loneliness,
Was a devil in disguise.
My happiness has been a demise,
Since I've always lacked a spine.
But I'm still two steps behind.Why does no one want to be in my company?
If I could have one wish from a genie,
I would wish that people would see,
Past my fake smiles and laughs.
I don't deserve to be in the spotlight,
Since I enjoy the night,
More than I enjoy the light.
A never-ending war,
Rages on like a battle in folklore.
But I'm still two steps behind.Run away from a girl like me,
Think how much happier you'll be,
If you stayed away from me.
I want people to see,
How much more I can be,
But I can't shine bright enough anymore,
For anyone to want me.
These shackles are like steel,
That nothing can be released,
I'll be trapped for eternity.
I'll forever be two steps behind.
