Lost in the shadows, feeling misunderstood
"I'm not good enough," a whisper in the wood
Tripping on mistakes, can't get anything right
In the echo of failure, I'm losing the fight

Silent cries, nobody cares
Lonely symphony, burden to bear
But in the shadows, a glimmer of truth
I am more than the echoes of my youth

Deserving darkness, success out of sight
A prisoner of doubt, a heart takes its flight
No one hears me, a voice in the void
"I'm not attractive," the truth I've employed

Burdened by flaws, talent I lack
A chorus of shortcomings, a merciless attack
Not smart, not talented, a constant theme
Lost in the dark, chasing an elusive dream

Silent cries, nobody cares
Lonely symphony, burden to bear
But in the shadows, a glimmer of truth
I am more than the echoes of my youth

Always comparing, feeling less and less
Inferiority's weight, an unwelcome guest
Can't trust my judgment, always in the wrong
"I'm a burden," singing a burdensome song

Silent cries, nobody cares
Lonely symphony, burden to bear
But in the shadows, a glimmer of truth
I am more than the echoes of my youth

Hope emerges from the darkest night
A simple soul finding its light
In doubts and wreckage, I'll find my way
For even in darkness, there's a brighter day
