my hiding place
A hurt little girl stares out at the world,
Through an Empty shell she calls home.
She sees all the people living around her,
She is terrified of what they might do
She has been used and abused so many times
The pain and hurt just eat her up inside
She knows of a place where she goes to hide
She likes it there, way down deep inside
No one can find her there or spread their lies
No one can hurt her once more or tear her apart
She comes out every now and then
To see what is going on and to try to find a freind
These are the times she has always regretted
Because she is always more vulnerable when she ventures out
So she has been staying in more and more lately
One day she will stay in forever
In her peaceful world, where all is safe and calm
Away from the bad things and horrors of life
She will hide away inside until the day she dies
