On The Inside

On The Inside

On the inside I am empty and hollow

Lying petrified, buried by what consumes me

Waiting for what I hope is a better tomorrow

And what haunts me, will let me be

On the inside I am trapped

Condemned by the shadow of darkness

I am waiting to be unwrapped

But I’m left here for my colors to tarnish

On the inside I'm filled with cries

Drowning myself with each tear

Hiding behind a mask that lies

Waiting for this emptiness to disappear

On the inside I know things are wrong

But I'm in a constant fight to erase what doesn't belong
