I know there’s
sadness beyond
your laugh and
bright smile

I feel the
brokenness beyond
your kind
gentle embrace

You try to carry
on pretending
and living
in denial

But I see the
pain beyond
your painted
colorful face

In hollowness is where her body strays
A wandering glance into a toxic haze
A harrowing trance of a hypnotic daze
Lost on a trailway of a cornfield maze

In loneliness is where her body stays
She’s locked in place in an intricate phase
She’s walked this trace for infinite days
Lost on a pathway of a cornfield maze 

In brokenness is where her body lays  
Her mind is gone but her spirit prays
Her heart is drawn to the secret ways
Lost on a passage of a cornfield maze

They play tricks
to enslave me,
and seize me
by their vanity

I pray that God
will save me,
release me
from humanity
