forget the pain that lies inside you
Remove the cloak that tries to hide you
Take a look at the beauty that surrounds
Take in each and every sound

Even the awful, horrid noises
are only so because of choices
You can hear what you wish to hear
you can stand strong if you choose not to fear

And that smile you've naught shown
Can be true, not over blown
No longer fake, it can be real
Show the world, how you feel

Don't jump back, if they react
They've got no say in how you act
you are yourself, and yourself only
you choose your fate, and if you're lonely

so walk on in life, with determination
decide if you're well, or ill fated
And keep your eyes, shining bright
as you step out of the dark, and into the light.
