"Words are in my not so humble opinion our most powerful source of magic capable of both infliction injury and remedying it."


The girl shivers with fear
Huddled in a corner of her mind
That huge place between her ears
If only God had been more kind

Huddled in a corner of her mind
Her hands in her hair and her eyes clamped shut
If only God had been more kind
The world treats her like a nut

Her hands in her hair and her eyes clamped shut
She has no where to hide
The world thinks she’s a nut
She should have just lied

She has no where to hide
Trapped in a memory, is there no way out?
She should have just lied
What would he do if he knew about

Trapped in a memory is there no way out?
She used to try and fight this foe
What would he do if he knew about
Her condition, would he have said no

She used to try and fight this foe
But it won in the end, now it's her only friend
Her condition, would he have said no
To this hostile living at the side walks end

But it won in the end, now it's her only friend
She still cries out late in the night
This hostile living at the side walks end
We thought this was right!

That huge place between her ears
Rings with silent sound
The girl shivers with fear
Deep in her mind, Waiting, Unfound.

This was inspired but my best friend and her inability to express her true emotions.
