A girl walks around in a park
stumbling in the dark
She wears rags and her feet are bare,
looking around
with a blank stare.
She’s looking for help
to fight of these demons
who dress up as her loved ones
making sure she trusts no one.
When she walks into a streetlight
she turns into a beautiful bright woman,
but it’s all a charade, a mask
to cover up how she really feels,
what she really knows.
That girl is me;
simply pretending
to be happy
