Staring into the dark

Listening to the things that lerk

Hidden by the shadows of then night

The noises they make give her fright

 

The dreams they make

Cause her to lay awake

Too scared to sleep 

Too scared to make a peep 

 

She hides away

Slowly dying day by day

No one sees behind her fake smile

But she will never ask to stay awhile

 

The monsters make her cry

They make her want to die

Inside she is slowly dying

But on the outside she is smiling
