Feeling so lost, so alone, so forgotten,
Like a core left out, all rotten,
These feelings so vivid and loud,
Not leaving me, I'm feeling so bound,
Lost in a world, so big and cruel,
Like life is playing a game of duel,
Feeling so alone, surrounded by many,
Not belonging, misunderstood, I feel so crazy,
I feel so forgotten, like I'm invisible, just gone without a word,
I doubt anyone will miss me if I leave this world,
No one can see the pain I carry with me so deep,
Yet, I doubt anyone really cares, no one will take that leap,
I feel like I'm burning from my skin to my core,
The fire running through my veins, my heart is sore,
Like the air is leaving my lungs and I can't breathe,
I feel like I'm suffocating, choking back tears threatening to leave,
The ache in my chest growing harder to control,
The voices in my head getting harder to ignore,
Going day by day, feeling alone and unseen,
Not knowing what to do, it's how it's always been,
I want to yell out at the world, I want to scream,
Tossing and turning every night, I can't dream,
Everything and everyone disappoints me at some point, you'll see,
Throwing me aside like I'm a used-up toy, useless and not worthy,
Treating me like I am nothing special, like I'm not even alive,
I feel like a ghost, haunted and stuck in this cycle,
When will these feelings stop taunting me every day?
When will I finally feel like I belong somewhere, not astray?
When will I stop feeling like I'm forgotten?
In this world so cruel and dangerous, lost in darkness.
