I had a dream I saw your face,
it was in a dark and distant place,
a place i knew from once before,
a place i'd hidden behind a door.

Locked up tight for nobody to see,
locked in a box only opened by me,
held closed by a lock made with hopes and dreams,
kept closed so nobody can hear the screams.

Not wanting to remember, not wanting to share,
hoping the lock holds so you'll all stay in there,
striving for more and not being beat,
these are the things that've kept me on my feet.

A happy smile to show life is good,
though you cut me deep you drew no blood,
so i'll walk tall and smile my cares away,
you'll all realise one day......

that though you've made me anxious,
about every situation i'm in,
I get through it all because of you,
with confidence and a forced grin.

The face I speak of is a dark and dismal one,
the one that makes you think that all hope has gone,
and you will never achieve your goals so clear,
if you give in to the face of fear.
