I close my eyes
i am at peace
for all my troubles begin to cease
i fly away to a silent tree
it is here that i begin to weep
in a shadow
its gentle touch
cooling, soothing
this is all too much
i tend to hide and stay out of reach
not share or say too much
i keep my feelings close to me
as i sit, beneath the tree
around my friends i speak out loud
with my feelings in a shroud
my happiness is only shallow
as i sit within the shadow
this is how i see myself
there is nothing left for me to tell
