Hidden

My smile it shines like a thousand suns

You’d think that nothing in my life ever went wrong

That’s a lie, it’s not true

There’s so much more to me then I’d ever show you

I feel pain I can’t describe

I feel scared to really open my eyes

I don’t want to be judged

But I don’t think they care

My life is a horror story, that’d make you hide in fear        

There’s things buried inside of boxes

That are taped closed for good

The church isn’t safe

My friends might desert me

My family says they care

But I don’t want them to see the hurt in me

Where can I run to?

Why do I feel the need to hide?

I want to let it out

But I have way too much pride

I don’t know how to tell it

I don’t know what to say

So from the overflow of my mouth

The abundance of words hit the page

Hidden secrets and truths

All readily escape

Just to prove to the world that no one is safe

Even the happiest people

Have had some bad days

I write down my life

But won’t reveal it

Because everyone doesn’t need to know, how I’m feeling
