Nobody knows you.

The pain you've felt.

The hardships you've been through.

Nobody knows the strength you've shown while climbing a stairway rigged with nails.
Nobody knows you.

Nobody's seen your dreams. You light up the world like fireflies at night.

You're like a spark that makes everything okay.
We all keep the best parts of us locked away.
And that's quite okay.

Take my hand and we'll save that for a rainy day.

Merciless world.

Words haunt her a little more than they should.

She stares in the mirror thinking about all the things she wishes she could change.

Her hair.

Her clothes.

She cries, just growing tired of their judgment.
She remembers when she was young.

Her parents would kiss her on the cheek as they told her goodnight.

That little girl just wanted to grow older, and find her soulmate.

She never realized how hard it is to find love in this merciless world.
