Echoes in the rain


I wear a mask, a fake smile

The world thinks I'm happy, all the while

But deep inside, I'm lost and alone

A soul trapped in darkness, no place to call home


I walk in the rain, to hide my tears

A lonely soul, drowning in fears

No one to turn to, no hand to hold

A life without meaning, growing old


They say I have friends, but it's a lie

No one reaches out, no one asks why

I'm just a ghost, invisible and grey

A fleeting thought, in their busy day


I walk in the rain, to hide my tears

A lonely soul, drowning in fears

No one to turn to, no hand to hold

A life without meaning, growing old


Why must I exist, in this endless night?

A life without purpose, a futile fight

I search for answers, but none are found

A whispered cry, in an empty sound


I walk in the rain, to hide my tears

A lonely soul, drowning in fears

No one to turn to, no hand to hold

A life without meaning, growing old


In the rain, I find my peace

A temporary escape, from life's release

But the pain remains, the emptiness too

A lonely heart, beating true.

Walking in the rain

 I wear a mask, a fake smile The world thinks I'm happy, all the while But deep inside, I'm lost and alone A soul trapped in darknes...
