In the echo of what I am

In a world of dreams, where the echo calls me,
lost among shadows, my light disarms me.
I am an opaque reflection in a broken mirror,
searching through the fog for a forgotten longing.
The notes are my accomplices, my achievements, mirages,
but every stumble sinks me into abysses.
I want to feel good, embrace my essence,
but peace slips away in this turbulent existence.
To fulfill my dreams while the wind whispers,
to be myself or an echo that never murmurs.
I should be grateful for being unique and real,
but at the end of the road, is my journey enough?
Since I was little in the struggle, always seeking to be more,
books are refuges where pain goes away.
Time slips between withered pages,
while dolls hold cursed laughter.
I get good grades but fear embraces me,
a bad mark feels like a threat.
I don’t want to show weakness before others' gazes;
my emotions are chains that never sound.
I want to feel good, embrace my essence,
but peace slips away in this turbulent existence.
To fulfill my dreams while the wind whispers,
to be myself or an echo that never murmurs.
I should be grateful for being unique and real,
but at the end of the road, is my journey enough?
The pressure of perfection weighs like a destiny;
the eyes of the world judge me with their fate.
They say I’m pretty and shine without ceasing,
but inside me there’s an abyss to fill.
The voices of envy whisper in the breeze;
while many fall in love with a precise image. (I don’t give a damn)
I cling to every achievement as if they were chains;
always seeking more in this abundant life.
Competitions call me and I respond to the challenge,
but nerves try to steal what is true.
I want to feel good, embrace my essence,
but peace slips away in this turbulent existence.
To fulfill my dreams while the wind whispers,
to be myself or an echo that never murmurs.
I should be grateful for being unique and real,
but at the end of the road, is my journey enough?
So I keep moving forward among flickering lights;
weaving my story with threads that drip.
I am a living force searching for my truth;
learning to shine among shadows of solitude.
