faded
where do I belong in this world?
will someone recognize me if I am in a crowd?
I once aspired to be seen and known by many people
but now, I long to hide as my world crumples
if I am in a courtroom and am asked to defend myself
your honor, I'd just choose to be on a bookshelf
where used and unread books can be found
so no one will ever see or hear me cry, no matter how loud it may sound
I'm starting to think that life evolves backwards
it is like a slashing blade I could never surpass; I'm just a coward
who has endless limitations and weaknesses
a coward who doesn't see any hope in reaching happiness
