Often

She sits

    And wonders

Does she make

Somebody’s heart




Skip?
Well now,
I seen you got that look in your eyes
I know you saw right through my disguise
This front, this mask I wear
Trying to tell everyone
"Beware"

Yeah sweet,
I see your hidden side,
That you've been trying to hide,
But please, just be fair,
I'm different I really do
Care

So...  
You've seen what's been hidden
Underneath the paint on my face
I guess I'll have to apply a layer again
Can't let anyone touch my grace
I like being a mystery
Trapped in a
Haze

And...
There you are, out of my view
After I had a glimpse of the real you
Now I won't be put off
Or easy to faze
My life's complex
So I love a
Maze

It's true,
I do enjoy a chase
Sometimes, getting caught
Just ruins the game
So, as I look over my shoulder
I begin to
Wonder

I see...  
I'll  show you respect, admiration and grace,
I'll  continue to follow  but slow up my pace.
I still have my wits, but that's a wonder,
Considering it's your spell that I'm
Under

Do you now...
You know that I run for a reason?
I hide my inner light,
Cause I'm someone no one believes in
This life has been hard
And I'm the one dealing the cards
But I know now, I'm not the
Queen

Ah,
Unbelieved in is what you say?
I see it from another way,
You deal me the cards, and I pocket the hearts,
And you had it planned from the start,
You outplayed me, my trickster queen,
As we exit arm in arm as our final

Look at me
I'm just a shadow
Of what I once was

I used to be a girl
With bright eyes
And a wide smile
But now, just look at me

I used to braid my hair, and wear no makeup
And wear jewelry and pink
And skip, rather than walk
But now, just look at me

I used to laugh and dance
And sometimes even sing
I would talk to everyone
But now, just look at me

I cry myself to sleep
Almost every single night
My eyes have dulled my smile faded
Are you seeing me yet?

My clothes are black, just like my eyeliner
My hair is in my face
No spunky earrings anymore
Are you seeing me yet?

I lie, and bury my head
Hardly ever part my lips
I haven't danced in years
Are you seeing me yet?
Sometimes I wonder if anyone truly sees me. I fake a smile wherever I go, just to hide the pain. I ask you this, can you see behind the disguises of people, or do you just see what they want you to?
I run on this lake beach,
Crunching over old bones and
My memories.
What I wanted to do,
What I wanted to feel.
I see the flat rocks,
The ones I wanted to skip so badly,
I just didn't know how.
I never could.
I thought you could teach me then
Smile remembering you--
Then stop.
The words you said were too much.
I want to collapse next to
The pile of rocks
And cry.
But I continue onward
Hoping.
Wondering when I will meet the boy
Who can teach me the secret of
Defying gravity.
Jillick Definition: To skip or skim a stone across water
