The world keeps pursuing us to improve our lifestyle by ruining our life. I just don't get it.

Lock it up, bottle it up, send it off.

Please don't get too close to me.
I warn everyone once
     If you break past those boarders
          It is a disaster in itself
               No one draws attention
          To the girl lost inside her head
     Fighting battles within herself
Writing them down now and again
      Rip them, burn them, hide them all
          Someone read her secrets once
               And now the fear is growing
          Hiding deeper in herself
     Once I heard a friendly voice
That voice is now silence
     Happy people are not always content
          My best friend showed me once
               Now I am alone again
          Solitude and grief and fear
     Hiding behind the curtain
Now her shadow won’t appear
