• All I desire
    Is to be held,
    Told it will be okay.
    Even if I know the lies,
    The false mirage
    Gives me courage to smile,
    But trusting you scares me.
    How can you understand ?
    What is under my skin,
    Unless you stood in my shoes
    Experienced my memories.
    The rawness of the words
    Forced back into the bottle
    At the back of my mind
    Which is full of all the bad thoughts,
    Always hidden from the outside world.
    My smile is more than meets the eye.
