The confident persona that hides the little girl
Screaming, crying, frustrated with the world
No one hears her sobbing while she dies inside
Too busy staring at the mask she wears on the outside
Gracious and kind
Slowly losing her mind
Pain runs through her like blood flow
The tears give her a saddened glow
Trying desperately to ignore it all
Can you hear her pleas and calls
She screams for happiness in vain
Are you listening? She’s going insane
Hiding in the shadows of a face barely aged
Within, all she feels is rage
Shielding herself from all outside forces
The pain has too many sources
Waiting for some kind of sign
Deteriorating with time
There is a need to rebuild the soul
Shed all of the past woes
Release all fear of judgement
Search for true sustenance
Let the butterfly wings spread
Before the inner torment deems her dead
