About the work
Echoes of My Inner Monsters
[Verse 1]
I smile, but I don’t fit in.
I wear a mask just to feel safe.
My family’s close — sure, they are —
but even there,
I’m just an echo, not a voice.
Living on the edge of everything.
[Chorus]
I’m alone.
So alone.
I dive into the ocean of myself,
to hush the monsters screaming inside.
Wish I could find me —
and not feel shame in what I am.
[Verse 2]
I try to escape what haunts me.
To be real.
But my voice cracks with past regrets.
I want to be free.
I fight to be free.
But I still bend to what they need.
[Chorus]
I’m alone.
So alone.
I dive into the ocean of myself,
to hush the monsters screaming inside.
Wish I could find me —
and not feel shame in what I am.
[Bridge]
You make it look easy.
Everyone loves you.
You shine —
I’m dim.
I copy your moves —
but I’ll never be loved like you.
[Breakdown Chorus]
Lonely.
No friends.
My body’s a cage,
my mind a sea.
Waves of silence,
pulling me down.
Let me be me —
without the weight of judgment.
[Final Chorus]
No hopes.
No dreams.
I sink in the ocean of my mind,
trying to mute the darkest noise.
I just want to be heard.
To be me —
and act without thinking.
