Beyond the Blue Eyes

beyond the blue eyes 
lies a child in denial 
she walks around with such a frown 
as her family treats her like a clown 

she tries to display her love 
as she reaches out to the one above 
she wonders will he also steal her love 

her tears is a token of all her fears 
I reached out to her, 
and said don't cry my dear 
why do you have so many tears? 

she said, I have been hurt all my life 
and my life has been filled with so much strife 
you reached out to me 

and now I feel free 
free to be me 
I see the beauty inside 
the beauty I use to hide
