You hide behind your big smile But I know you wear a mask And I see the lies you hide I see the scarred fragile soul Cracking beneath the weight.

Time ceases to exist Vanishing from my mind As my worries cry All the things I can’t control Throwing me back

A little boy tugs at his mothers arm while she ignores him. Tears springing to his eyes he wonders why.

Waking in a cold sweat Choking for breathe Scared to death The shadows prancing In the darkness

My heart yearns My memory flooding my head Images gloating of funs to be had Displaying first hand reminders The taste

My fingers gliding across the keys In a race to keep up with My wayward thoughts Drifting through me head Things demanding to be out

Looking in the window I’m frozen in place As I watch the scene inside I’m looking at the woman Who claims to be an outsider
