At the end of every day The cracks are starting to show Instead of being a hummingbird I transform to a crow
I'm too hunched, aching and weary For one as young as I But there are some days when I just wish I could up and fly
I'd fly away from here To no specific place But here I remain, putting together My pretenders smiling face
When my facade starts breaking I give in to the tears But not if anyone's watching Vulnerable to my fears
I like to hide myself away I paint on a ragged smile I laugh and joke the day away Whilst hurting all the while
I think today will be different I'll dance out in the rain Wash away my falsities And expose my inner pain
I don't think I should hide away I'll have a big reveal So the all the world can know What I have worked to conceal
No one can be there to comfort Or offer words of advice If I lock my feelings away With a ghoulish grip like a vice
So today there was a thunderstorm And I let the water cleanse me Whilst being awed by lightning Striking, beautiful to see
Unleashing my inner beauty Baring all my scars I should never have hidden them They make us who we are
We are who we are because Of everything we've done Every battle lost bravely Every war hard won
I feel naked to your gaze Before you my soul is laid bare I don't mind what happens to it So long as I'm able to care
My reveal is a rebirth As mascara runs down my cheeks I can sense it slipping away It's almost too hard to speak
I kneel there in the flooding street And allow myself finally, Wearing my heart upon my sleeve, As the girl I longed to be
