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 watch the world scurry around;
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 be;
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;
i felt the same way only instead of forcing a smile, i locked all my emotions in side
