Hidden

She walked in the dark
the tears were hidden
she couldn't step into the light
her pain was forbidden
she was scared to feel
it wasn't allowed
she had to hide in the shadows
of a rejected crowd
she didn't belong
life wasn't far
she could step into the light
and no one would notice she was there
it was all to much
to keep inside
to put her hands over her face
every time she cried
to hide that frown
until it was gone
so everyone sees her smile
shes pretending nothings wrong
she cant take it anymore
she had to step into the light
so everyone sees the pain
shes done trying to fight
