    Every time I look around,

    A question sinks me back to the ground.

    Every hope I tie within

    makes me realize that I am dreaming.

    In every way, I try so hard,

    but each effort tears me apart.

    Every time I ask myself,

    A question buries in my heart itself.

    Where actually do I belong?

    Am I the only one who is alone?

    I am scared to open my eyes,

    Fail every time, even through tries.

    Darkness is where I hide;

    The river of my faith is almost dried.

    In every sound, I hear a noise,

    which hurts me bad and makes me destroyed.

    Chirping of birds is what all hear,

    but cries of death are what I bear.

    The gentle breeze you feel whispering

    Is a cry for help—it's always weeping.

    They say it’s impossible

    to chase your shadow,

    But I never faced the light,

    Instead, running through the narrows.

    They say,

    "Fly high to achieve your dreams,

    "But is it my fault

    that I have no wings?

    Every time I ask myself,

    "Will I ever be able to achieve it?

    "In every promise, I hide myself.

    Will the ending never be lit?
