I hide within my dreams
Learned to stifle my screams
Showing no sign of pain
Just this side of going insane
Not allowed to show my fears
Washing away evidence of tears
Sheltering myself from the agony
Already kowing what's coming for me
I do not dare to reveal
The emotions I barely conceal
Terrified, mortified by it all
Disgusted I let myself fall
I desire things I should not
Fear I will lose what little I've got
Shot down, pushed around
Wounded, no hope to be found
Walls built high and wide
No way to get inside
Trying to shut it all away
No more prayers left to pray
I don't know what to do
I hide from the truth
If I can suppress what I feel
Maybe it won't be real
