Sew up wounds,
Glue them shut,
Hidden from everyone,
Under clothes,
Under smiles,
No one here
Can see through your lies.
You say that that’s fine,
But really, it isn’t.
You say that you want
To hide forever.
But deep inside,
Maybe without realising,
You wonder,
Why,
Why won’t someone
Notice you
And save you from yourself?
Glue them shut,
Hidden from everyone,
Under clothes,
Under smiles,
No one here
Can see through your lies.
You say that that’s fine,
But really, it isn’t.
You say that you want
To hide forever.
But deep inside,
Maybe without realising,
You wonder,
Why,
Why won’t someone
Notice you
And save you from yourself?
