What Lies Within
Sweet serenity
On the surface
A meer illusion
A masquerade
Hiding the scars
Denying the existence
Of the anguish
That lingers endlessly
Inside my soul
Underneath the sweetness
Lies seething rage
Tainted innocence
Lullabies aborted
Only hurt, pain & lies remain
Denied my tears
Robbing me of my right to be myself
To think, to feel, to be free
Over this decade long stay
In this suicidal inferno
That transformed my being
From a masochist to a viglante
Out for prairie justice
Drawing blood unmercilessly
Protecting the child inside myself
That is crying for someone to kiss this pain away
