Can’t hold it in any longer
So, I retreat to my safe space...

A smile that can light up
All the hidden obscurities...

There are different levels to my anger
It will always start out the same...

Awake in the night
reaching out for your hand...

you’ve been working on me
ever since I can remember...

Just because I don’t respond
doesn’t mean I didn’t hear...

The calmness here is eerie,
the silence that cuts like a knife...

I did something I thought,
could never be done...

I have dreams where I’m falling
most don’t ever hit the ground...

looking back I don’t recognize
that girl hiding in the closet...

A flattering smile,
a laugh like the sun...

Just like the ocean,
so calm and serene...
