Words Left Unsaid...

Smiling to these unfamiliar faces Never showing signs or traces Of how she truly feels inside The girl whose feelings she’ll always hide Barriers she built so long ago Have yet to be touched, for no one can know To try and open up seems such a difficult feat So she’ll keep her heart and mind discrete She longs to scream and let others know How she feels like her life has reached a plateau She’s yearning for love, for something more But feelings on her sleeve, she’s never wore Vulnerability is the scariest word she could hear For being loved and left is by far her worst fear People come and go, but the ones who stay Are the very ones she tries to push away She finds comfort in being simplistic Her views on the world are disturbingly realistic She understands people and how they can be So she chooses to live her life privately Regardless of emotions she chooses to show And through her actions and motives people try to construe Yet, when night falls and she rests her head She doesn’t long for the world, just for words left unsaid
