By Elizabeth Callaghan
Of that girl who would hide
Her heart and soul
You would never find
The world that she held
Never seemed real
No one even knew she could feel
No one she had a heart
No one knew she had a soul
A world only hers
No one would ever hold
Her heart was her own
Her world was kept under her wings
No one knew
No one cared
About the girl who always hid
What she thought
What she did
She thought no one would notice
No one would care
About a girl who never seemed fully there
Her heart and her soul
Buried between her fears
And her secrets
No one could tell
What was hidden between
Her heart and her pain
No one knew
And no one came
When they heard she was dead
No one saw why they should bother
With someone they didn't know
So she lay alone
In the world that she hid from
She always hid from the world
She never knew it was okay
To show the world who she was
She hid from a dream
Let it haunt her soul
She would not go after it
Would not go on
When they heard she was dead
No one cared
Who knew that was what the girl needed?
Certainly not them
The girl they never knew
Was always hidden
Refusing to let herself to be known
Keeping away people
Not letting anyone see
The heart she had
So good
So true
Was hidden beneath
That sarcastic smile
And every time
She said she was okay
Another secret was made
Another wall between her and the world
Her own world was hidden
Underneath her wings
No one cared
About the girl who they couldn't see
