Shallow Cries

Dreams of a dreamer
thoughts of misuse,
Climb through her veins
as guidance eludes.

Freedom is free
and love is true,
But sadness is left
watching over you.

She'll scream 
and cry,
but the walls will not break.
Trapped in her head
with no escape.

Too much time 
will pass her by,
as she remains in
Shallow cries.
