I hide my darkest secrets,
I hide my darkest fears,
I hide behind my barriers,
I hide my silent tears,
I hide my own self loathing,
I hide it deep inside,
I hide it from my closest friends,
And from the world outside,
I hide behind a happy face,
I hide behind a smile,
I hide because it’s easier,
I’ve hid it quite a while,
I’ve hid so long it’s now my norm,
I’ve hid the times I’ve cried,
The reason why I hide so much?
Because I’m weak inside.
