Have you ever met someone Made up of everyone Everything she's ever encountered So consumed with that make up She doesn't know her true self She can search far and deep But the memories seem to be in a keep Close enough to see but too far to reach Else, they never existed beneath Peel back her layers of skin You'll find nothing within For everything lives in her head The dread, The dreams, The seams That burst She must be cursed She won't give in That is all I know.
