Would I

Kailey Norris 2004 (North Carolina)

What would I give for a silent mind?
What would it take for a peaceful thought?
What should I hide for a moment of my own?
What would I show to get someone on the phone?

Would I give it all I've got?
Would I take what isn't mine?
Would I hide my flaws down to the bone?
Would I show what needs to be shown?
