Despair of the Inner Child

The pain I fear is lost
Deep in my thoughts

Only my dreams reveal my fears
My pain

Though I try as I might I cannot
Escape every bit of pain I must suffer through

Though I know I'm safe
That I'm happy
In my dreams any fear is revealed

My pain takes hold of me
Envelops me in a blanket of darkness and despair

On the outside there may look a girl
A woman who could stand on her own

On the inside a child roams lost and scared
No one to tell her who she is or where she belongs

Her guard always up
For fear of being hurt
