A Monster In Me

I hide her
Inside myself
Under the light
Down in the darkness

She's a monster, they said
They haven't see what she's been through
Far from a monster
She's just a scared and lost piece of me

People step away
Scared of what's inside me
Afraid that she'll bite them
Hurting everyone in the room

Locked within a shell
She'll never be accepted
Looking at the mirror
Yes it was her

The pearl in my heart
Will fade and lose it shine
Beneath the cloak of loneliness
Away it dies

I keep my dreams
Under a lock and key
I'm so afraid that they will fly
Away from me

I hide my pain
Inside a melody
As if the notes
Will set me free

And now she appeared
For the whole people to see
A monster in me
Please stay inside me
