Never served with a silver platter
'You have to understand'
'You are strong you don't need it'
Every pain regarded as a complaint
Every need considered greed
Learnt to look down often
Closed doors in fear of being dramatic
Every pain suppressed
Only to be let out in solitude

Found strength in the corners
Found comfort in isolation
Made friends with the wind
Found happiness in imagination
"You are so kind, so wise"
That's the only way I've learnt
A "You don't matter" hidden behind "strong"
So I try to be there for others
The way I wish someone was there
Thought myself advices I knew would never come

"Why are you always angry"
I'm sorry but you've never taught me to smile
For every kind, someone wanted to take
So I try to make things balance
"You're always quiet"
Have you ever listened?

Anxiously waiting for the future
Maybe I'd be free
Life Would be better and happier
I try to make it better
Has anything changed though?
Fate is playing a game of turns
With different souls
So what do I look forward to?
