crying within

you can tell me what i saw were
fairy tales
lost within the mind of a
child on bent knees
waiting for his father to return--
i know the truth
i know everything you wish i\'d forget
all the lonely nights
you wish the world would stop
let you off
and continue on with you on the side
watching everyone with everyone
just to see what\'s right--
when you can\'t
even stand straight in the stalls
look around,
blush,
lean forward
trying to hide what you were never taught
so who can blame you
when you\'re the last one out--
walking along the curb
you can cry to yourself
without the headlights seeing
and not have to explain
the hour you can finally dream
of waking
without crying
within.
