Here I Am

“when i was younger,”

“the world was a different place.”

“i was carefree in my own ways,”

“chasing bubbles till they fade away.”

“how time’s flown,”

“eighteen years, gone oh gone.”

“the dreams i had don’t quite belong,”

“to the world i’m standing on.”

“the sky feels closer, yet so strange.”

“have all the colours faded away?”

“everything’s moving in slow mo,”

“i’m wondering what the future holds.”

“here i am, caught between,”

“what i was and what i dream.”

“some friends grew up, some drifted away,”

“some people i wish were still here today.”

“the mirror’s cracked but that’s okay,”

“still tryna see myself that way.”

“every line’s a scar that tells,”

“a story i find too hard to spell.”

“when the world’s too heavy to hold,”

“i let the music hold me close.”

“for a moment, i feel free,”

“the music takes control of me.”

“i brush it off like i’m okay,”

“but i feel small on rainy days.”

“the mirror reflects what time won’t say,”

“i’m still finding my own way.”

“here i am, caught between,”

“my past and how it changed me.”

“i’ve changed in ways i can’t contain.”

“still finding peace within my pain,”

“and when the world forgets my name,”

“i’ll dance beneath the stars the same.”

“here i am, caught between,”

“the boy i was and who i’ll be.”

“i don’t know what the ending means,”

“but i’m still writing, patiently.”
