i tried too hard
to be noticed
i tried to be someone
i was not
waiting and waiting
i watch time slowly tick away
as another day dawns
i was the world scurry around
i wanted to be someone
i wanted to be famous
i wanted life and
i wanted love
i wanted a lot of things that were out of reach
as i sink in slowly
under the weight of expectations
i tried to be what they wanted me to be
i tried to be what i was not meant to
i tried too hard
i pushed too far
and i went too far with a forced smile
and a fake laughter to cover my tracks
i escape into the shadows
and try to fight this one out ALL ALONE
