Billions walk this earth, yet I feel alone
Struggling to breathe in this place I call home
Connections so futile, relationships revealing
Loved ones aplenty, but so little meaning

What's ten years wasted? Dancing down the drain
When all I have ever felt with you is pain.
What are misspent tears, constant states of disguise
When I have always been worthless in your eyes.

Nothing changes, yet every day feels new.
Why did it take so long to see the real you

But I hope one day that life will be simpler
So effortless, but kind.

When at last, I escape your punishing world, and finally discover mine.
