I talk, but no one hears it
I post, but no one cares
I smile into the screen again
But no one's really there
My voice just floats like static
My name fades in the feed
And every day I disappear
Into someone no one needs
I don't want likes, I don't want fake friends
Just one kind look that stays 'til the end
Someone who listens, someone who sees
The quiet, broken parts of me
Am I invisible, or just too small?
If I screamed tonight, would it reach at all?
I keep pretending I'm okay
Yet deep inside, I feel it break
Am I forgettable, or just a phase?
Would they notice if I walked away?
I just want someone real to find
The truth that I have left behind
I trace my name in empty chats
I watch the silence grow
They laugh, they love, they carry on
And I just scroll below
You looked at me like I was real
A gaze that taught my heart to feel
But warmth like that just doesn't stay
You smiled, and slowly slipped away
I don't want likes, I don't want fake friends
Just one kind look that stays 'til the end
Someone who listens, someone who sees
The quiet, broken parts of me
Am I invisible, or just too small?
If I screamed tonight, would it reach at all?
I keep pretending I'm okay
Yet deep inside, I feel it break
Am I forgettable, or just a phase?
Would they notice if I walked away?
I just want someone real to find
The truth that I have left behind
So if you're out there, I'll find you
Don't scroll away, I'll stay true
I'm not perfect, I'm not bright
But I'd hold you in the darkest night
You like me more when I stay small
When I don't ask too much at all
But every time I try to bend
It feels like I lose me again
Am I invisible, or just too small?
If I screamed tonight, would it reach at all?
I keep pretending I'm okay
Yet deep inside, I feel it break
Am I forgettable, or just a phase?
Would they notice if I walked away?
I just want someone real to find
The truth that I have left behind
I try to match the perfect face
A version they would not erase
And if they only love pretend
Then maybe I should just begin
