Lost in my Place

Lost

In this house of strangers, I am alone,
Surrounded by faces, But I feel alone.
I try so hard to fit in, to be who they need,
But there’s a hole in me that no one can see.

I miss my Daddy’s hands, gentle and warm,
His voice, his love, a shelter from any storm.
Now I walk on this path, trying to be strong,
But in my heart, something feels so wrong.

I give my all, and stay kind,
But a piece of me is lost, left behind.
I try to make them proud,
But in the quiet moment, I feel like a heavy cloud.

I wear my smile, play my part,
But no one knows the ache in my heart.
I cook, I clean, I laugh, I share,
But still a part of me isn’t there.

The love I give feels like it’s never enough,
The role I play is really tough.
I want a moment, just for me,
To be the daughter I once used to be.
In their eyes, they need the perfect wife,
But in my eyes, I’m losing my life.
I try so hard to make this my home,
But from inside I still feel alone.

I give them my best, all that I got,
But what about the girl who has been forgot?
I keep pretending but it’s breaking me,
But who will ever truly see me?
I am the girl who misses her father’s face,
The one who’s still searching for her place.
