My World
My body is young, yet my eyes are old.
My heart is so full, of stories untold.
I live in fear, yet shead not a tear.
I may not watch, my future unfold.
This great big secret, that I have kept.
While not a night, have I soundly slept.
I hear the music, from within.
I let my heart go, is that a sin.
I speak a lot, yet say nothing.
How can this be?
Am I not free?
