INSIDE                       

Am i avoiding the issue
By avoiding the pain
Is it really my fault
Am i truly insane?

They say theres a child
Inside of us all
I think i can see her
So sad and so small

Shes hiding and fearful
Wont come out here...no way
I told her id help her
But shes begging to stay

To stay down inside
Where its safe and theres no others
To protect her from rapists
And fathers and mothers

The others have warned her
Its dangerous outside
Theres fears and theres anger
Shed much rather die

Ill let her stay in there
Im strong then she
Im outside and empty
While shes really me
