useful

I wake up, another day the same
No one sees the colors in my name
Trying hard to shine but feel so small
Like a shadow fading on the wall

Every word I keep inside
Echoes loud but no one hears
Maybe if I learn to try
I’ll be worth someone’s tears

I just wanna be useful
More than just a face in the crowd
Something real, something truthful
Something that makes you proud
If I fall, will I be remembered?
Or fade like I was never there?
I just wanna be useful
To someone who cares

Smiles hide the cracks inside my chest
Dreams that never let me rest
But I still believe there’s more to find
A reason waiting in my mind

Every scar, a quiet truth
Every loss, a part of youth
If I break, I’ll learn to mend
’Cause even broken hearts pretend

I just wanna be useful
More than just a face in the crowd
Something real, something truthful
Something that makes you proud
If I fall, will I be remembered?
Or fade like I was never there?
I just wanna be useful
To someone who cares

Maybe I'm enough right now
Maybe I don’t need a crown
Maybe being me somehow
Is all that counts

I am already useful
Even when I don’t belong
Every tear was beautiful
It made me strong
If I shine, it’s ’cause I'm human
And I’ve learned how much I care
I just wanna be useful
And I already am
