Walking around
with a fake smile on her face
while inside she feels like
a hopeless disgrace.

Hiding it all
afraid to let them see
what she feels inside
or how she'll never be free.

Visions of her past
constantly running through her head
haunting her everyday life
even while in bed.

Wondering what he'll say
wondering what he'll do
if he sees her tears
from all that she goes through.

She loves him so very much
but fears she'll scare him away
so she keeps it all hidden inside
each and everyday.
