Still as Marble
Thursday, February 25

I close my eyes, as I lie in bed
Thinking of all things happy and sad
Wondering if things will ever change
In the world, and in my life.

I'm not looking for a change,
I'm happy where I am
But somewhere deep inside,
is a girl crying in fright.

It's not the world that scares me,
Or the things that I see
I don't know how to explain it,
Is there a way out of this?

I try to put myself off to sleep,
But as the night creeps into day,
I lay there, knowing there's no other way.
