Hidden in the lies

Location

Here's to the quiet girl

who no one understood

they called her incapable

they said she was no good

 

so, she set herself on a mission

to be an actress and a star

where she could show the world

her quality not her scar

 

she wanted to shine

she wanted to smile

but her fears still, let her down

 

after hiding for so long

she could not find her voice

she became angry

and tried not to be bitter

 

always picking herself up

she always fell down

she started to believe

the lies she was told

 

so, she gave up her dream

it was the end of her world

but something changed

she found her voice

 

no more hiding behind a dream

for all the wrong reasons,

she now knew

a new chapter had begun.
