the closet

Tv shows and trampolines The brightest days of curiosity But do you know what it feels like to be seen? Turmoil at home Can you see it in my face? Distant explosions I remember those days Head in the pillow My dreams are ablaze If I leave this house Will it be quiet one day? It's fine, I'll hide in the closet Where all of my tears and imperfections are promised My favorite sweater, the things I hold tight I'll talk to my feelings, won't let them inside Love is a dangerous thing in my mind And I still wonder What could happen outside? A new place, but I'm still afraid Now I avoid conflict, fake smile everyday I try to fit in with people in school Can I live life in color? Can dreams still come true? It's so bright out there, shiny and new Maybe it's time to take a step in these shoes Nevermind, I'll stay in the closet I'm fighting my tears, until I can resolve it My favorite sweater, can I wear it with pride? I'll talk to my feelings, won't let them inside Love is a dangerous thing in my mind And I still wonder What could happen outside? Will I be fine? I'm back in my closet Years have gone by Got everything I need, everything inside Depression in the top drawer Self-doubt in my mind Everything is bright, but scary outside I'll just keep my head held down Bet someone will come around Waiting for a long time now Are you still looking for me? I am
