Hidden...

 She searches the darkness
For some kind of sign

Looking for something
To forgive all her crimes

Always missing the point
And still crossing the line

Never really expressing
What’s hidden deep inside

Or ever letting them see
The times she has cried

The mistakes she’s made
All the times she’s lied

And one of these days
She may well understand

As the minutes pass by
And the hourglass sand

Slowly ebbs away
Merging into years

Stealing her youth
And increasing her fears

As she loses her sanity
Strand by fucking strand

Always yearning to leave
That no man’s land

A life that’s in limbo
With no light at the end

Never trusting any other
No one to call a friend

Walking in circles
And living in shadows

Stood on the edges
Where no one else goes

And no one else sees
Or really takes the time

To scratch the surface
So she tells them she’s FINE

But the truth is hidden
And always kept that way

Because the simple fact is
She’s not really OK
