Mom packed dreams
into borrowed space
Thin walls hummed
like a hiding place
Each new stop
just felt the same
Unpacked the bags
but kept the shame
I just wanted
not to be seen
Not the silence
Not the need
Faded clothes
and hallway stalls
I found a home
in paper walls
Held my breath
between the bells
Shadows know
what silence tells
Kept my name
behind my eyes
No one asked
and I learned why
I just wanted
not to be seen
Not the silence
Not the need
Faded clothes
and hallway stalls
I found a home
in paper walls
One good night
One warm light
Gone too soon
To make it right
Laughter heard
behind the door
Love don't last
when you're the floor
I just wanted
not to be seen
Not the silence
Not the need
Faded clothes
and hallway stalls
I found a home
in paper walls
Still hear the noise
from down the hall
Hiding where
I felt so small
