The Past Can Never be hidden
When you see her face
she is an ordinary girl
She has that smile
as beautiful as a flower
But when you look
deep inside
you can see
the horrors
the nightmares
the tortures
that have been locked away
She appears so perfect
tries to hide the noises
in her head
“You’re a fake”
“You’re a loner”
When she goes home to
the memories of
the horrors
the nightmares
the tortures
and the sounds of the pots crashing down
bang
splat
crackle . . .
She hides them all
but not too well
When you go deep inside
and look closer
the cracks in her face are no longer
hidden
the scars of the past
come out from the hiding
and her soul cries to be saved
She covers it with makeup
but it can never be hidden
The past will always come back,
it can never be concealed . . .
