The pain we hide

Everyone has a secret, some dark thing stored inside.

Everyone holds in demons, and here is one of mine.

Wrecked from a young age, by a girl twice my age.

She used me and she held me, gave me love my parents never gave.

Let’s play mommy and daddy always rings out in my ears,

As I’m surrounded daily by demons, and my deepest darkest fears.

And how did I get through it?

I’m afraid I never did.

But comparing my life then, to now?

Comparing my smiles then, to these frowns?

Trying daily to hold in tears?

Take me back, make me do it again, let me feel a love I haven’t felt for too long and be hurt for all I care,

One that I hated and one that I still fear to admit I crave.

We’re all a little messed up here, you should fear the thoughts in my brain.

Thoughts creeping in slowly that drive me insane.

Thoughts creeping in slowly that drive me insane.Thoughts creeping in slowly that drive me insane.

Depression, anxiety, you can name them all.

It's part of being human, face the struggle or fall.
