In the shadows of my mind, I dwell
A place where light refuses to reach
The echoes of worthlessness, they swell
In silence, I beseech, I beseech

The mirror’s reflection, a cruel jest
An image of failure and despair
A heart too heavy, an aching chest
In solitude, I bear, I bear

The stars above, they seem so far
Out of reach, like dreams deferred
My soul, a dim and distant star
Unheard, unheard, unspoken word

Yet in this darkness, I must strive
To find a glimmer, a spark, a flame
For even in this life, I am alive
And worth is not a game, a game
