In the heart of bustling streets, I stand, alone,
Amidst the sea of faces, I feel unknown.
Whispers of judgement echo in my mind,
A silent scream for solace, hard to find.

Every glance, a dagger to my fragile heart,
Each step I take, a world tearing apart.
The weight of unseen eyes, a crushing load,
On this solitary, winding, fearful road.

Words I struggle to say, they twist and turn,
In the fires of self-doubt, they slowly burn.
Yet in the quiet corners of my soul,
I yearn for peace, to finally feel whole.

Through the storm within, I seek the light,
A glimmer of hope in the darkest night.
For in this journey, I aim to find my way,
To break free from shadows, greet the day.
