The world looks elsewhere
doesn't even notice you're there
You can't fill that empty space
even though you don't have a place

They keep on looking
for the one that you're not
You're out of the circle
I think they forgot
about you...

And you wish
that for once
you could come in
and someone
would notice
you're there...

But the world looks elsewhere
you feel so left out
'Cause no one can see you
or the pain from the doubt

You don't even know
if someone knows you exist
Like a piece in a puzzle
don't have any where to fit...

I wish it could change
for you

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
