Verse 1 My voice presses against walls that do not answer I speak into spaces that swallow every sound I shout until my throat burns and nothing changes They look right through me like I am not even there Silence grows heavier each time I try I am more than the quiet they keep me in Verse 2 I have carried these words inside for so long They weigh on me like stones I cannot set down I do not need to be loud to matter I only need someone to actually listen To see the parts of me I never show To hear what lives beneath the surface Chorus To be heard Not just listened to To be seen Not just looked at To matter To know my words do not vanish into empty air To be heard Exactly as I am Bridge I am not asking to be fixed or changed I am not asking to be praised or admired I am asking to be acknowledged To have my truth held gently instead of pushed away To know my feelings are real and worthy That my voice has a place in this world I will not shrink myself anymore I will not be quiet to make others comfortable Chorus To be heard Not just listened to To be seen Not just looked at To matter To know my words do not vanish into empty air To be heard Exactly as I am Outro Someone hear me I am speaking I am here This is me Hear me
