Didn't know

You think you know
But you really don't know
The child who cries on the inside
You only see the tough girl who fights for others

Behind smiles and eyes with fun shown in them
Lies a waterfall
Slowly drowning the child
With insecurities, lies, and no hope

There is no escaping it
The level has already risen to the max
Floating on an endless river of lies and pain
The child continues on the try and survive

You only see the shell of the person
But can you crack it open
Will you be able to bear the sight of the inside
Can you look deep enough to try and help the inner child

What you didn't know
Is that the child screams for help
Tears streaming down the soft face of the child
Can the childs' plea every be answer?
