"Deep Inside my Heart"
By: Lauren Hodge

For Jenna, who helped me with the title, and for those whose love saved them from eternal sorrow.

Behind my ever-confident smile, lies a spirit that knows real fear.
Behind my laughter, ever strong, my proud heart sheds a tear.
And though it seems I do not care, when things I do go awry,
that's the time my troubled soul, will begin to silently cry.
And when the hurtful things I say, become too much to bear,
it's really the depths of my weeping heart, trying vainly to show that I care.
I know that when you look at me, all you see is anger and pride,
if only you knew that my true self, lay hidden and scared deep inside.
Whenever your heart laments for me, and the suffering in my life,
it makes the real me deep within, fight hard to do what’s right.
You loved me when I was lonely, and stood by me through and through.
My heart was healed and I was saved, by the love I found in you.
You saved me from a lonely death, my very essence from its end.
Now you know whom I really am, and will never leave you again.
I’ll love you forever and always, and I just want you to know,
that just as you, hung on to my heart, if you fall, I will never let go.
You were the light in my sorrowful darkness, my star, in the limitless sky.
You were my shelter from the rain, and wiped every tear that fell from my eyes.
Now life says I’ll live and here I am; it’s the greatest feeling I know.
With you at my side, I now can withstand, the flood of tears that are my sorrow.

"It's a broken heart, escaping from the sorrow, in the promise for a better tomorrow."
