What lies beneath a smiling gaze?
Or under a lively laugh?
It's not what it seems
Something else lies below
Underneath a pretty face
Scars across her back
And ones that runs down her arms
She cries when no one is around to hear
She fights battles within herself
The scars symbolize the losses
And the failed attempts to cut the devil out
She struggles day by day
She's lost hope and faith
Her demons are her inner torture
Much worst than the ones from the outside
She's hurting down below
Pain hidden beneath the wraps
And beyond the stone walls
There was a time
A time when she tried to leave
But the demons held her back
Back from her freedom
The freedom that she longed for
But woe it was just out of her reach
Not knowing what it is to taste joy
Or to smile and mean it
She just waits, waits down below
