Hidden Wounds
Floating through the air and scratching at my skin
Whispers in my ear hoping to come in
Leaving scars behind yet not in plain sight
Screams that hurt my throat from images in the night
Tears replace the blood as flesh hides the wounds and the pain that hurts so much
But people don't believe because it's not something you can touch
Hateful screams fill my head from friendships I can't mend
Except I'm an actress and put on a great show in the end
Because smiles replace the trembles and laughs replace the cracks
She wishes the rumors would end and people would use real facts
