You see me in the world but I wish that I could hide,

So I hide the only way that I know how,

I find my escape from the things I keep inside,

I struggled way back then and still do now.

 

I pass you in the street and I mouth the word "hi"

My hurried steps tell you I do not,

Have time to chat, I have to rush on by,

I'm so busy....or at least that's what you thought.

 

You see I'm lost in music as I stare off into space,

You smile as you watch me sing along,

You say it's such a gift but you miss in your haste,

All the lyrics that are hidden in each song.

 

It doesn't raises awareness as this is nothing new,

You've never known me any other way,

Music is the channel I communicate through,

Yet you don't hear how much I have to say.

 

I'm glad I have my music although you cannot tell,

The song that is written in my heart,

This song would tell you that you don't know me well,.

I listen then rewind back to the start
