You're the reason I put up all these walls,
I've built,
I'm the shadow of a broken child,
Crying and screaming for no more pain,
You kept me afraid,
And always trying to hide,
I can't stop thinking of all the pain,

Even though the bruises are gone,
Even though I look Ok on the outside,
The pain inside will never fade,
You're why I can't believe other's words,
You're most of my pain inside,

You started my hiding,
You started my tears,
You started my fears,

The sound of your footsteps coming near,
Made me cringe,
The thought of your hit,
Made me shiver,

What did I do to deserve this?
What did I do to deserve my increasing pain?

I can never trust.
I can never believe.
I don't know how.
All I know,
All I can do,
Is stay hidden,
Behind my walls,
Inside my room,
Away from everyone,
Away from it all.

I stay hidden,
I'll stay away from anything that can cause me pain,
Hidden from it all,
Maybe the pain will all go away...
