In Hiding

By stumbleine queen

She hides her thoughts
in the corner of her mind
..where you can't hear them..

She hides her cuts
under an over-worn coat
..where you can't see them..

She hides her tears
in the falling rain
..where you can't feel them..

She hides herself
behind a fake smile
..so you'll never see her..

She spends her whole life
hiding her past, hiding from you
..hiding so you'll never get to know her..
