I HAVE A SECRET

I have a secret I kept for a long time I hide the pain deep down And pretend to be fine This girl inside of me She is dying to come out She knows this happened Beyond any doubt It’s getting too hard to hide I’m ready to let it out This is not for sympathy I just need to speak out Every time I remember the pain, I cry myself to sleep, Emotions running insane, For every prayer and wish to die, For every tear I have ever cried My broken soul My shattered mind, All my emotions intertwined All the pain I feel inside I’m the scared little girl that just wants to hide I need to speak out To free the victim inside I was hurt by a boy, I felt like his toy My Innocence stolen, cuts so deep On the cold floor, I did weep I know this story all too well I put up with him and all his hell I blamed myself For It can’t be true Why would he want to hurt me This just can’t be I am ready to share my pain And let go of my tears I grew up too fast Way beyond my years This scared little girl would like someone to see That this is my story And I am no ones territory
