Unseen Pain
Once upon a time, I knew a happy little girl
She had gorgeous sea blues eyes, which looked better then pearls
She was a happy young girl, her life was so very perfect
On my very down days, I picture her and reflect
As her life was great for a five-year-old,
nothing could go wrong
Her life was like a beautiful unwritten love song
She would dance, sing, laugh and play
Who would have thought all of this could be taken away?
This little girl has grown up now, I wonder where can she be?
But the harsh reality is, she is deep within me
She has forgotten who she was, and sadly who she is
For that five-year-old girl she truly does miss
Where is that smile?
The laughter?
That cheeky little grin?
It has to be somewhere, it must still be deep within
So I’ll fight for my friend to submerge again
But for now my tears will continue to fall, as unseen pain.
