Pom poms hurling toward the sky
Never let them see you cry
Pause so slightly, wonder why
All your dreams forsaken
Sideline cheers, inducing fears
Eternal waits, a thousand years
Wheels in motion, grinding gears
All your love’s been taken
Died this death a thousand times
Within the confines of the mind
Expectations no different this time
A soulless shell, forgotten
Smiles provide a place to hide
Easier to give up than try
Silent, Screaming, Retreating
And all is far but well
Climb inside the shell to hide
My very own private hell
