i hid it all.

the only time i was at peace was when i accepted the only way i would get out of my mind was in a casket six feet under.

but you never saw this side of me.

i never let you.

i never let anyone.

people knew i was broken.

but they never knew how many cuts it took for the blade to go dull.

it’s crazy i have money now.

i have the means to get out.

but inside i’m the same little girl that nobody cared about.

i get drawn right back into this place.

my pain is written in the walls.

as soon as i walk outside through that door—

i hid it all.
