M.I.A

by Harmony   Jan 5, 2014


Would you wonder why
some people wish to fly?
Put down the books
change the looks
pick up the knife and die.
Lost faces
foreign places
no place to call home.
No love
no hope
feeling tired and alone.
The sadness within
is in her eyes.
The life she lives
it's all a lie.
What becomes of her
isn't as easy as it looks.
She hides her emotions
behind the books.
While her faces smiles
her soul cries.
They ask, she lies.
Why does her life
seem to deny
what she has written
on her thigh....
And they all wonder why
It's easier to cry....
The pain grows
her feelings show
she hides because
nobody should know
what she is trying not
to let grow
when all she wants
is to let go....
