You can see the truth through her gloomy eyes,
All the pain and all the lies,
All the ache in her voice every time she says goodbye.

Every night she falls asleep with tears in her eyes,
And wakes up the next day with a smile,
Hiding all the agony she has paralyzed.

Even though she knows she's dying slowly inside,
She will not show a speck of it,
Nor will she let it over come her.

For she locks it up in the depth of her chest and throws the key away,
As she sets her armor across her heart,
And puts her guard up.

She must fight her own fire breathing dragons,
And dark lurching demons,
To escape this labyrinth of an everlasting nightmare.

She is her own knight in shining armor.
