teenage sea

In my room, the walls close in,


Scrolling through screens, where do I begin?


Everyone's laughing, but I'm on my own,


In a crowded space, I still feel alone.

Heart emojis fly, but they're not for me,


I'm just a shadow, a face you don't see.


Friends all around, but they don't really care,


It's like I'm invisible, just hanging in air.

I try to fit in, wear a smile like a mask,


But inside I'm screaming, it's too much to ask.


Late-night thoughts spill like tears on my page,


Trapped in this cycle, it's feeling like a cage.

Wishing for someone to notice my pain,


To say that I matter, to help me feel sane.


But the silence is louder, it echoes and stings,


In a world full of noise, I can't find my wings.

So I'll write down my heart, let the sadness flow,


Hoping that someday, I'll finally know,


That love isn't fleeting, that it's out there for me,


But for now, I'm just lost in this teenage sea.
