Hidden

Hidden by the curtains of her mind
To other people’s hopes she is blind
Scared of shadows in the wall
Her confusion being the all in all

Feeling guilty about her thoughts
She wraps herself in tighter knots
Refusing help as it won’t help
She feels defeated but cannot yelp

Waiting for a solution or an angel
To relive the pain and remove the danger
Of a bad ending that she won’t want
But that is there all day to taunt

She searches and looks and truly hopes
She lives her life trapped in the ropes
Hot tears fall and screams emerge
And every day increase her urge

Survival means hiding the soul
Persistently all day chasing her goal
Smile must be put onto her lips
As that way she indeed believes

A lie might become her reality
And she might find her life’s key
Living instead of a slowly death
With a family, peace and her baby’s breath
