Gasping for air

Verse 1: In the shadows, I’m lost, can’t find the light, They smile in my face, but they don’t see my fight. Heart heavy like stone, no one hears my cries, Behind closed doors, I wear this lonely disguise. Thoughts racing, mind pacing, trapped in a cage, Life feels like a book, but I’m stuck on the page. Ghosts in my head, they echo my fears, Drowning in silence, drowning in tears. Verse 2: They say they care, but it’s all just a show, Fading in the background, like a ghost, I go slow. No calls, no texts, just a void in my chest, If I vanished tomorrow, would they even guess? Fighting these demons, but they’re winning the war, Empty bottles, late nights, I’m just wanting more. No one gets the struggle, the weight that I bear, In this crowded room, I’m still gasping for air.
