Have you ever felt


Have you ever felt like you're in the shadows waiting for your time to shine?

Have you ever felt like you're tumbling over, caught on the borderline?

Looking from a distance, wanting to voice your thoughts but too afraid to speak your mind.

Protecting your spirit from the seething monster that makes them be unkind.

Have you ever felt like there's nothing you can do, like there's nothing you can say to make it go away?

Have you ever felt  alone, like they can't hear a thing and they don't really care if you're even there?

Well take it from someone who's been in your shoes, someday you'll win and they will lose.

One day  the world will get to see who you were meant to be.
