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
