I feel alone in crowded skies,
With silent tears and unheard cries.
No one knows the storm inside
I wear a smile, but pain I hide.

I wander lost, unsure, confused,
With aching thoughts, my heart feels bruised.
I try to breathe, to still the flame,
But every breath just sounds the same.

Oh God, grant me a gentle light,
To ease my soul and calm the night.
Some days I long to fade away,
Yet some I fight, I choose to stay.

This life’s path is so rough, unclear,
With shadows close and hope not near.
Still, dreams within me softly call
To rise again if I should fall.

I want to climb the mountain high,
To chase the stars across the sky.
I want the ocean’s endless grace,
To find some peace, a quiet place.
