I am a ghost around you

I speak, but no one hears, just echoes in the air Fading in the background like I was Never there Since I was a child, I knew I didn't belong, a stranger In my own home, a voice drowned in the throng They talk right through me, change the scene Like I was never in between Every word I try say, disappears, just drifts away I'm a ghost around you, unseen, unheard, a fading Whisper, a broken word I reach for light, but I slip through, like I was never Meant to be real to you I'm a ghost around you, trapped in the mist, living In silence, do I even exist? In a crowded room, I stand alone, a shadow cast A heart unknown Small talk, fake smiles, but I crave more, a conversation That isn't a chore But every time I try to speak, the silence swallows What I seek I hold it in, I walk away, another soul Lost in the fray I'm a ghost around you, unseen, unheard, a fading Whisper, a broken word I reach for light, but I slip through, like I was never Meant to be real to you I'm a ghost around you, trapped in the mist, living In silence, do I even exist? In a crowded room, I stad alone, a shadow cast A heart unknown Small talk, fake smiles, but I crave more, a conversation That isn't a chore I was never meant to be real to you I'm a ghost around you, trapped in the mist, living in Silence, do I even exist? Do I even exist? I've learned to live in quiet tones, to hide my thoughts To stand alone If no one listens, if no one cares, then I'll find my voice In my own despair Maybe I was never meant to stay, maybe I'm better Off this way No more trying, no more cries, I'll be the ghost In your blind eyes I'm a ghost around you, unseen, unheard, a fading whisper A broken word I reach for light, but I slip through, like I was never meant To be real to you I'm a ghost around you, lost in the mist, but in my own World, I still exist If I am nothing in your sight, then I will be my own light I may be a ghost to you, but I am real-I know it's true.
