Water alone cannot suffice my hunger
Food alone cannot withstand my thirst
I was drowning in fear and running for my life
I feel like lying in deathbed all my life

The shadows whisper secrets I cannot unhear
Every heartbeat echoes with the weight of despair
I claw at the walls of my mind, desperate for light
But darkness lingers, mocking, endless in its flight

My hands tremble for warmth I cannot touch
My eyes search for solace in faces that do not see me
I scream in silence, and the world moves on
As if my pain is a story never meant to be told

Hope flickers, fragile, like dying embers
Yet I grasp it, desperate, knowing it may burn me
The hunger for peace battles the thirst for meaning
And I lie here, alive, yet dead in every feeling
