In Hiding
Shadows hide what face-paint could not erase
Pain shown all over her face
Sadness erupts inside
Seeing what she truly looks like brings fear
Tears flow as mirrors crash down
Breaks in many pieces
Pit of her stomach clenches when she’s out
Hiding when she has the chance
Running away always
Time doesn’t seem to heal her painful wounds
Inside she wishes to die
Secretly wanting death
Hope fades like the sun on dark cloudy days
Her face contorts to her pain
She must endure always
She wonders if she will ever be free
As her days are filled with tears
Unknown is her future
