I'm the ghost you can't see.



I'm the ghost that you can't see, A burden heavy on me. Haunting shadows in the night, longing for the morning light. In the silence, hear it cry, A soul lost, asking why. Invisible to those around, My spirit was silently bound. Tangled in a web of fears, drowning in my own tears. Seeking solace, finding none, in this battle never won. Ghostly presence, never seen, haunting me, where I've been. Memories linger, never fade. A ghostly echo of mistakes made. The weight of sorrow, heavy load, A ghost that only I know. In the darkness of my mind, my ghost forever intertwined. So I walk this lonely path, With my ghost, in shadows cast. Invisible to the outside world, Forever haunted, my mind swirled. On my ghost that you can't see, a part of me, forever free.
