Sometimes it feels like I'm just a passenger
In this body that I'm living
Like I'm looking out at all the world
But I'm not really existing
My mind is like a tangled web
Of emotions, thoughts, and fears
A stormy sea that never calms
A place of darkness and tears
People say "just think positive"
As if it's just that easy
But my mind doesn't work that way
It has a mind of its own, you see
They say "don't worry, be happy"
But it's not that simple for me
My brain is like a broken record
Playing the same sad song on repeat
I feel like I'm a prisoner
Locked inside my own head
A labyrinth of confusion
A place of restless dread
It's like a chemical imbalance
That's throwing off my brain
An uncontrollable force
That's driving me insane
I try to talk to loved ones
To let them know how I feel
But the words get stuck inside me
And I struggle to be real
It's like I'm living in a movie
Where I'm the star but don't belong
Everything around me seems so fake
All of life just seems wrong
I wish that I could just be "normal"
To feel happy every day
To live life with joy and purpose
To find meaning in every way
But sometimes it just feels hopeless
Like I'm never going to win
And I wonder if it's even worth it
To keep fighting from within
But then a sliver of light shines through
And I remember what's true
That I have a purpose and a place
And I'm not defined by what I face
I'm more than just a chemical reaction
Or a label that's been given
I'm a human being with a soul
And I'm meant to keep on living
So I won't let the darkness take me
I won't let the sadness consume
I'll keep fighting through the turmoil
And find a way to break through
For though I may have a chemical imbalance
It doesn't define who I am
I have the power to rise above
And become all that I can.
