Out of Reach

I’m here but I don’t feel seen

Like I’m whispering through a screen

Everyone’s talking loud

But no one hears me now

Glitter on my skin, still cold

Smiles I wear feel bought and sold

Room is full but I’m alone

Heartbeat feels like dial tone

I’m trying to find where I begin

But everything feels paper-thin

I fade into the background noise

Dancing quiet, losing voice

I’m out of reach

Calling but the signal’s weak

Floating where the silence leaks

Don’t know how to speak

I’m out of reach

Caught between the dream and breach

Wishing I could find some peace

But I’m just out of reach

Lights are blinking, walls are tight

I pretend I’m doing fine

But the mirror knows the truth

Every crack’s a missing youth

Tried to stretch into the light

But it disappears each night

Like I’m tethered to the grey

And it won’t let me escape

I’m trying to find where I begin

But everything feels paper-thin

I fade into the background noise

Dancing quiet, losing voice

I’m out of reach

Calling but the signal’s weak

Floating where the silence leaks

Don’t know how to speak

I’m out of reach

Caught between the dream and breach

Wishing I could find some peace

But I’m just out of reach

Can you see me?

Would you hold me… if I disappear again?

Out of reach…

Still out of reach…

Still…
