The Secrets Of A Girl I Know Poem by Maya Reid

There’s a girl I know
Who has mastered the game
Of hiding
From the world
From herself
She buries all her pain

I’m working to uncover it, that pain
It’s no easy task, I know
But I’m sick of trying to convince her to do it herself
She’s made her own rules to the game
To learn them I must find a way into her world
But her door is hiding

And I try to convince her to stop hiding
Telling her that others are willing to share her pain
If only she would leave her secret little world
Come out and play – let everyone know
That she’s changing the rules to the game
She done fighting all by herself

That’s all she’s ever been – all by herself
Under a million masks, hiding
Pretending she doesn’t care about society’s game
In secret, bleeding out all that pain
But looking at her you’d never know
That she almost gave up on the world

And I’m trying to bring her back to the world
Cuz she can’t stand up by herself
Because I look in her eyes and I know
That she hates all this hiding
And she wants to deal with the pain
That she’s sick and tired of playing this game

And together, we’ll escape this game
I found the key to her world
And am searching for the door to her pain
She’s looking for it, herself
Bt she doesn’t know how to stop hiding
I can help her with that, I know

I know that life is more than a game
And we’ll achieve nothing by hiding from the world
Since she no longer all by herself, we can save her from the pain.
