Veiled

Trapped behind this veil
That I cannot take away
Cut off from the rest of life
And I fear it's here to stay

My face is hidden behind it
No expressions of feeling can they see
Unless they dig inside my heart
But they're too scared of me

I might as well be invisible
All they see is the shadowy cloak
They don't want to see what's beyond
Or that the inside of me is broke

I try to scream for help
So someone can bring with them the day
But I can scream until there is no breath
And still they cannot hear what I say

A new veil I feel is forming
Between my head and my heart
I try to see past the blackness
But I can't take the veil apart

Now I'm forced to choose
Do I follow my heart or my head
But when I can't follow either
Sometimes I just wish I was dead

No one can help me now
They can't get past the black veil
I just hope I'll be able to see again
Or in my life I will fail
