i’m a mess

(Verse 1) Yeah, I’m lost in the shadows, where the light don’t reach, Heart heavy like a lesson that I never could teach. Thoughts spiral like the smoke from my last cigarette, Memories haunt me, but I’m not done with regret. (Verse 2) I walk these streets, but the pavement feels cold, Stories in the cracks, every tale left untold. Friends fade like echoes, they drift in the night, Searching for a spark, but I can’t find the light. (Verse 3) In a world full of colors, I’m seeing it gray, Caught in a cycle, can’t find my way. Chasing down dreams, but they slip like sand, Fingers grasping shadows, can’t understand. (Verse 4) I pen down my pain, let the ink bleed truth, Each bar a reminder of my lost youth. Life’s a puzzle, and I’m missing the piece, Trying to find solace, but the hurt won’t cease.
