I am a child with pride
Sometimes I want to hide
I live in fear
I wonder who I can hold dear
I replay many pains
I wonder if they will ever go away
I hide my pain
I just wish it would rain to ease my pain
I love to work
So I stay busy and I won’t have to hurt
I sometimes don’t know where to restart
I just want to be loved by someone with all their heart
I put a smile on my face
I don’t want anyone to sense my hurt; in any case
I block my pain with music
I don’t know how they speak my pain so fluent
I may be quiet, funny, outgoing, crazy, and wild
But I will always be a HIDDEN CHILD
