There’s a place within me
that smiles like the sun.
That shines like the stars
bursting out of darkness.
There’s a place within me
that screams for help.
That begs for attention.
A place so cold and dark.
There’s a place within me
that demands to be let loose.
A tougher side is fighting out,
forcing me to stand up for
what I believe in.
When I walk into the silence
of my own mind,
I find a girl who no one knows.
She begs to escape the walls of
my conscience.
To the outside world
I am quiet,
withdrawn,
weak.
But to me,
I am a fighter.
Strong but hurting.
Broken inside.
Still I will continue to fight,
and as I lay my head down,
closing my eyes…
I can only see the real me.
