I used to wake and watch the sunrise,
the colors illuminating my dark skin...
When I was young, I had a dream
Of how my life would be...
The radiant morning sunlight
Surrenders...
I'm hiding,
Hiding from the truth...
I watched a normal woman once
she seemed stressed, tired, and distant...
What summer's day has passed?
Yet well too soon...
The weight of the world is crushing me
and i'm suffocating...
He stood
with unseeing eyes...
Loose the handle, turn once more
Lost in thought upon the door...
Is it my lot and my destiny
that life is so hard on me...
The world around us makes us all too weak,
It makes us whisper when we should speak...
Whispered secrets,
Tainted lies...
