poisoned by lies
Numbed by the truth
holding onto your faith
gullible after youth.
empty,
lost,
and broken.
words that never should have been spoken.
escaping nightmares
drowning out the screams
sleeping peacefully
in pleasant dreams.
dancing without a care
away from hate
no imperfections
on that pretty little face.
taking each step in stride
ignoring every little lie.
