They'll Never Know
Listen to that whisper on the wind.Heads are gonna turn when you walk in.
Shaking hands,
Thudding heart,
You pay a price.
"You call this art?"
You'll sing for absolution for your sins.
And if you can put on a show,
Then baby, they'll never know,
What it took,
What you've done,
Who you are,
Or what you won.
Just put down your fear and baby we can go.
Watch them now as they get up and dance,
Sing them dreams of sweetness and romance,
Don't look them in the eyes,
They'll never see you're so surprised.
Just stand up and let them give you one more chance.
Sweetheart, it's time to hold your head up high,
You came and well, you gave it one good try.
Give us a smile,
Sing a song,
Pray to God,
They'll sing along.
Breathe now darling, and you can say goodnight.
Day 10 of my #Inktober poetry challenge. This one might be a song when it grows up. If you like it, let me know and feel free to share!
