Behind Her Walls

Cheerful smiles shine bright

Nothing seems to bring her down

Rarely is she hurt

 

Friends always by her

Loved by all and feared by none

She'd never hurt a fly

 

A careless, free soul

Beautiful as wildflowers

Shame she's not the same

 

Hatred fills her mind

Starting to trust slim to none

She hides from their words

 

Being backstabbed hurts

It ruins a persons mind

Trust is no longer there

 

She builds her fortress

Hides from their sharp, painful words

Bottling it up

 

Self-esteem near gone

The world judges, she believes

She no longer speaks

 

They will ask what's wrong

"You are only curious,"

They ruined her thoughts

 

She once noticed Him

His eyes filled with the same hate

He understood her

 

Slowly her wall broke

Allowing him to be near

Accepting his thoughts

 

Judging, he did not

She listened to his kind words

Darkness slowing melts

 

He shows her the light

Her eyes, now so full of life

That day changed her fate

 

As they stand by the abyss

She holds a match with a grin

He looks in her eyes

 

As she flicks her wrist

The glowing stick spirals down

Burning the darkness

 

She looks down with tears

Though a smile slowly appears

Her pain burns away

 

Her yesterdays gone

Nothing left but ash and dust

She sighs in relief

 

They watched her walls melt

Burning quickly at her feet

Slowly, the pain fades

 

Her dark heart now warm

Putting her past fears to rest

Her shattered heart, fixed

 

Her eyes glistened bright

His love brightened her small world

She now knew herelf

 

"It's never the end,"

"You, my love, should know of this,"

"Break through your sorrow,"

 

"I will be with you,"

"Patching the holes in your heart,"

"I gave you my part,"

 

"I will fight for you."

"You are mine to watch over,"

"I'll protect your soul."

 

Her pain is now gone

Chains no longer hold her back

She is free again

 

She is peace and love

People spit and put her down

But she still loves them

 

She no longer breaks

For He is always with her

She now loves herself

 

Go seek the flower child

With blue eyes, calm and loving

And you shall know peace
