Body
What lies deep inside of me
That the whole world cant see
Is it my broken heart
Hanging and torn apart
is it the mind scrambled around
Maybe the secrets that were never found
It could be the endless lies
That rest behind my eyes
Closed mouth unable to speak
My hands closed pray my soul to keep
The soft steps I take to stay hidden
Ears to listen to the stories that are forbidden
The graps of the wrist to keep from leaving
Stomach aches and pains due to disbelieving
Or is it my soul in which was lost along the way
The world will never know what it really is I have to say
Rosey nose and blushed cheeks
Signs of a love that one seeks
Chest pounding at every breath
Could be the brain fighting death
The world will see only a brief image
Of a girl whose life only mimics
What lies deep inside me
That the world can only see
A body of a tamed dream
But deep inside is all screams
