When

She was
                                                                            Whispering softly, 
                                                                       Almost like the 
                                                                  Murmuring of a tree
                                                         Soft, gentle, words were
                                                       All I could hear, 
                                                      yet, I was Smelling 
                                                     A very general story,                                                           
                                                   A polished, fake smile
                                                 When will we be able to break free?

                                             I do not know and I do not want to know
                                            A closed door does not mean anything  
                                                      In an alternate way
                                     We still try to imagine things , to feed our soul
                                 And the story keeps on counting the addition of pages 

                                 I was listening, I was trying to be a gentle girl
                                 As I used to be, and all I can remember now, 
                                 That I need to learn to read  between those lines
                                                For tracks of hidden tears,
                                                                       And
                                                           Overlooked smiles.
