Hiding

Of the many faces I hide behind

Do you see which one is me?

In this everlasting, cruel hearted world

How could I let me be?

To protect myself I've built a wall

And rules I must abide

To keep my soul, my heart, my life

Kept all on the inside

If someone gets too close

I will push them far away

Curl up in my protective stance

And try again to find the day

Though I am desperate for love

I will not be fooled

My heart has been sewn too many times

For me to willingly be tooled

One day I may open up

Open up my heart again

But that day is so far away

The day my broken heart will mend
