I’m Not Right Here

 I’m Not Right Here

I’m not right here 

I’ve thought to myself

Every day of my life

The feelings of emptiness

And hollow relations 

Echo inside my consciousness 

Feeling distant and detached

From everyone I’ve ever known

Wanting to be a part of something 

Yet always retreating to solitude

I don’t know how to belong

Just maybe I’m what’s wrong

I’m not right here 

That’s just my fear 

I’ve thought to myself

Am I even enough 

Every day of my life

Until the end of this strife

That moment of reflection 

Of just seeing nothing 

Burn my mind with the loneliness 

Being seen but rarely heard 

And my noise just is a bother 

Let me disappear like I came 

Without a care or fanfare I fade out

Gone without a single spark 

My goodbye won’t be long 

I’m not right here 

That’s just my fear 

I’ve thought to myself

Am I even enough 

Every day of my life

Until the end of this strife

Maybe another time and place

I’ll be at home

But here I reach for the stars 

After they’re gone 

It’s okay to move on

I’m in the dark 

I’m not right here 

That’s just my fear 

I’ve thought to myself

Am I even enough 

Every day of my life

Until the end of this strife

That moment of reflection 

Of just seeing nothing 

Burn my mind with the loneliness 

The feelings of emptiness

And hollow relations 

Echo inside my consciousness 

I’m not right here 

I’ve thought to myself

Every day of my life

I’m in the dark 

In the dark

The dark 

Dark
