POISON

She's crying for help in her own hidden way

She longs to be told that it will all be okay

But she's tired of hearing old, worn-out lies

She needs to hear the truth that she cannot find

She suffers alone where nobody sees

And although people ask, she never tells the whole story

She thinks if she pretends everything is fine

She might be able to live a semi-normal life

The pain that she hides is very real

It cannot be fixed with a kiss or even tears

All she wants is someone who will listen

Someone who can admit that they cannot fix it

She's tried so hard to get herself out

She's stored up her frustration; she's talked it out

Nothing seems to work, she's still empty inside

She goes to bed with this feeling each pressured night

And she still doesn't know why she's feeling this way

She wishes there was a reason to explain it all away

Because she doesn't want to face that she's not right with God

But there's a poison deep inside her heart that she's found she cannot stop...
