The shadows that crawl across your skin,
Here is where I hide night after night,
Holding onto my insanity so tight.

I feel safe when my face can not be seen,
Inside the shadows my ugliness can preen,
I am not comfortable in the light of day,
People see me coming & they move away.

I am disfigured by my horrible past,
Over my face a deep scar has been cast,
Where I once was pretty now I am a mess,
From out of my own skin I want to undress.

Around me I wear a thick, black cloak,
The stench from my ugliness makes me choke,
Forever I will hide within the dark,
As I bear too much of a disgusting mark.

I hear screeching & screaming inside my head,
Makes me sometimes wish to be dead,
I am a girl who lives deep within the shadows,
Inside me every day the ugliness grows.
