I've been watching my whole life, Observing it From a distance, like a stranger. I keep scratching Trying to get in, to be seen But I can't. My fingernails scrape, tear And bleed. A sad attempt at being human but This life doesn't belong to me, Not really, Not truly.

I've been watching my whole life, Observing it From a distance, like a stranger. I keep scratching Trying to get in, to be seen But I can't. My fingernails scrape, tear And bleed. A sad attempt at being human but This life doesn't belong to me, Not really, Not truly.
