The Other Self
The little girl inside cries
Innocent eyes drowned in sorrow
The woman outside smiles
But with eyes haunted by tomorrow
Two persons in one body
Two souls desperate to be free
Two worlds lost in an endless
sea
Two minds on the edge of insanity
The little girl inside tries
To believe in her hopes and
dreams
The woman outside sighs
While a voice in her heart
screams
Two humans on an unhuman earth
Two voices stiffled in the
dirt
Two lives waiting for rebirth
Two hearts deprived of all
their worth
The little girl inside dies
But her memory forever lingers
The woman outside lies
In her bed beneath the covers...
Wandering in helpless night
Over the river of darkness
Searching for an inner light
To overcome this sadness
... hiding from reality
