We assume it must be all
Colorful & blissful, her life,
But it’s all gray.
There’s a box hidden, in her heart,
Not of any treasure,
But it’s a box full of lies.
Lies like she’s all Okay,
For there’s no one here who’ll understand,
Understand why every night she cries.
Behind that pretty face,
There lies so many stories, untold,
Stories of her getting disgraced.
I’m so sick and tired of this
Society and their mentality.
I just want to leave this place,
And rather,
Live a life like Waif.
For I want to live in a society,
A society where women would feel safe.
