Portrait
Pose for the portraitLook pretty, be stillIn all the facade they’ll never knowThe secret battles you’ve foughtAll alone They’ll never sing your songYou’ve kept it locked away so long They’ll never know your storyHidden behind all your glory Your pain is but your ownToo scared to share it with anyoneThe past has hurt you muchBut Continue reading

Like the rain
Rain is fallingAs heavy as my feelingsGrey clouds reflect my moodSilently still as the waterOn the puddle below I’ve said goodbye a number of timesBut the pain refusedTo leave me anywaysIt kept coming like the rainJust hold on for the sunny days Continue reading
