you stare into the empty night,
a mirror of your fading light.
you tell yourself youre not enough,
that life is just too cold, too rough.

you wear the weight of every doubt,
a shadow you cant live without.
the words you hear, the lies you tell,
build up the walls of your own hell.

you hide away from every glance,
afraid to give yourself a chance.
the hate you feel, it runs so deep,
it haunts your thoughts, it steals your sleep.

but somewhere in that darkened space,
theres more to you than what you face.
you are a spark, a hidden fire,
a soul thats meant to rise much higher.
