Unwanted

I walk these streets with heavy feet, Where every glance is cold, They say I don’t belong around here, But this is all I know. They try to push me to the edge, But I stand my ground, In a world that turns its back on me, I won’t be taken down. Unwanted, but I’m still here, In the shadows, through the fear. You can try to turn away, But I’ll remain, come what may. Unwanted, but I won’t leave, This is my fight, this is my creed. You can push, you can shove, But you can’t take my love, Unwanted, but I’ll stay. Every whisper, every stare, It cuts me deep inside, But I won’t let your darkness Take away my light. I know this place was never meant For someone like me, But I’ll keep walking through the flames, Until I’m finally free. Unwanted, but I’m still here, In the shadows, through the fear. You can try to turn away, But I’ll remain, come what may. Unwanted, but I won’t leave, This is my fight, this is my creed. You can push, you can shove, But you can’t take my love, Unwanted, but I’ll stay. In the cracks and in the corners, I’ve made a place for me, Where the broken pieces gather, And the lost souls find their peace. You may never understand, Why I choose to stand, But this heart won’t break, No, I won’t bend to your demands. Unwanted, but I’m still here, In the shadows, through the fear. You can try to turn away, But I’ll remain, come what may. Unwanted, but I won’t leave, This is my fight, this is my creed. You can push, you can shove, But you can’t take my love, Unwanted, but I’ll stay. Unwanted, but I’ll stay, In the night, I’ll find my way. Through the pain, through the shame, I’ll rise above, I’ll keep my name. Unwanted, but I’ll stay.
