Don't let them see

Glossy and cold
Glittery gold
Story unfolds
No longer untold

Twinkle in the eyes
Looking surprised
One can only surmise
No one heard her cries

Sparkling gown
As she came down
Radiant glow
But it was all a show

She put her best face on,
Face on
Cus we must be strong,
Be strong
The show must go on,
Go on,
Don't give up, or let down, or let them see

You gotta fake it,
Fake it,
'Til you learn to make it,
Make it,
No one's gonna take it,
Take it,
Just hold on, hold back, don't let them see.

Magical lights,
Shining so bright
Erasing the night
What a blinding sight

Thresholds crossed,
Past is lost,
New tides comes in,
We'll begin again

She put her best face on,
Face on
Cus we must be strong,
Be strong
The show must go on,
Go on,
Don't give up, or let down, or let them see

You gotta fake it,
Fake it,
'Til you learn to make it,
Make it,
No one's gonna take it,
Take it,
Just hold on, hold back, don't let them see.

Don't let them see
Don't let them see
It's just you and me
Don't let them see

Ah, pretty girl
Ah, pretty girl

Don't let them see
Don't let them see
It's just you and me
Don't let them see

A New Song

A thousand shards of glass,
An attack, so vicious and so cruel
Left me feeling like a fool

A million words to say
Caught in my throat
Would you have listened any way?

To what I had to say
About the way you left me?
Or how I felt about your broken promises?

Hey, hey,
It's a new day
I no longer feel that way
Hey, hey
Time heals all,
So I sing a new song today.


Washed away, with old memories
Were the stories of us
I don't need them anymore
Just like I don't need the fuss

Found the depths to my darkness
That led me to the light
Leaving behind the sadness
For the dawn after that night


Hey, hey,
It's a new day
I no longer feel that way
Hey, hey
Look at me now
I sing a new song today.

Just like they said,
One day I'd move on
So open and free
I know I'll carry on

The burden has lifted
The pain has subsided
My heart is whole again.

Wrongs may never be righted
But justice isn't blinded
So I sing a new song!

Doors

She stared up at the bright red lettering on the EXIT sign.

EXIT

She crossed the threshold.

Doors - where do the unknowns lead? What lies on the other side?

How does one know when one is ready to close one, open another?

I thought the words would pour out of me, but I only have one question; am I ready?
