Invited but Not Welcomed

Hidden in the shadows, trying to find my way

Feeling like a stranger, every single day

Invited but not welcomed, caught between the lines

Struggling with the silence, reading all the signs

Can't seem to break the barrier that keeps me outside

Wondering if there's something wrong with me inside

Standing in the corner, feeling out of place

Trying to hide the hurt behind a smiling face

No one sees the tears I hide so well

Living in a story I can't tell

I'm done feeling like an outsider, I need to be free

Choosing to believe in me, breaking through the misery

Even when I feel like I don't belong, I’ll stand tall and strong

Learning the difference, I’ll find where I belong

Every invitation seems to slip away

Voices around me, but I’m fading into grey

If the moment comes, and I still don’t feel right

I’ll hold onto my soul, and fight another night

Standing in the corner, feeling out of place

Trying to hide the hurt behind a smiling face

No one sees the tears I hide so well

Living in a story I can't tell

I'm done feeling like an outsider, I need to be free

Choosing to believe in me, breaking through the misery

Even when I feel like I don't belong, I’ll stand tall and strong

Learning the difference, I’ll find where I belong

It's a choice I make to step into the light

To find my worth, to win this fight

I'll no longer hide behind the fear

My voice will ring, my path is clear

No longer an outsider, I’m set to find my place

Embracing who I am, I’m ready for the race

Standing here, stronger than before

Learning the difference, opening new doors
