Do You Know My Secret


3/6/16

Do you know my secret

Do you know my pain

Do you know how much

I hate myself sometimes

Do you know the things

I deal with at night.

Do you hear the crys

of my heart

Do you see the plea in

my smile

Do you even know me

Do you really see me

or am I just alive

you don't really know.

I don't know if you

ever will. I’m trying

to say hi. Do you

know why I serve

my God or am I

just that Christian

girl. My God is

more than just

my king. You

cut yourself and

cry I call out

to God & pray &

pray. My wounds

hurt & are deep

but my knife goes

to my problems and

not in the scars

under your jeans.
