Balance

A room drowning with darkness,
A crack of light flooding in.
A beam, which soaks up the crevasses in
The walls that have become my only friends.
Ears that always listen,
They always let me have an opinion.

Why am I here?
Why do I want to hide?

Chasing the reflection of my scars,
In the shattered mirror before me.
Tears filling the gaps in the glass,
Mending the only thing that I've got.
Light bouncing everywhere,
Blinding me in a blink of an eye.

Am I still alone?
Am I still falling?

Alone, I fall into the darkness again,
Walls help me back on track.
Balance, I need to know
Whatâ??s happening in this world?
Different from the others,
I can't shine like I want to.

Which way can I go?
Which place is safe?

Lines in my skin,
Sting with the tension of light.
Marks unbalanced, making me fall faster,
I just want to get out alive.
Walls will cave in,
Difficult to keep me alive.

I want to give up.
I want to show them I am me.

You can't just lock me away, no.
