When the Magic Disappears

Running away to my special place

Hiding the tears that run down my face



Behind the chair a place of my own

My father screaming with an unbearable tone



Crouched in this secret place of mine

convinced me to think that all was fine



"who cares" I thought, "noboday does"

while they all ran around to find where I was



I wasn't hungry for fish that night

So i went to hide, my strike of the fight



None of them knew where I had gone

I wasn't found, even when the lights were on



On my way into hiding, i slammed shut the door

and they thought at home I was no more



Being alone was not so much fun

especially when daddy dialed 911



So I jumped out with a beaming face

Letting everyone know of my secret place



It wasnt my corner anymore

and if I still liked it I wasnt sure



When i disappeared they all knew where

I was found in a ball behind the chair
