The Prisoner
She hides her true feelings behind a mask
Showing signs of false happiness
Seeing that the innocence of her childhood
Has long since past
How many times has she been judged?
Been mistreated because of some small thing?
Abandoned by her own mother and father
She’s been Misguided by the hands of fate
How many terrors has she seen?
How many atrocities have been committed
By those she loves?
By the people whom she trusted?
Among the shadows on the wall
That dance round and round
She closes her eyes as a single tear falls
As she imagines a happier time and place
