My Dark Secrets

Walking around
Living a lie
Keeping it all inside

Never letting it out
Never letting them know
Of all the things I’ve done
Of all the things I’ll do

They think I’m alright
They think I’m all cured
They think I’m normal

But I’m not
I’m different than they think
I have dark secrets that just want to burst out
But they won’t
I won’t let them escape

I don’t want anyone to know the true me
Why?
Well because they will shun me
When they see me
Their eyes will look away
And their footsteps will quicken
As they walk away

I’ll look down at the ground
And tears will slide down my face
For my secrets showed who I was
My secrets were my enemy
My secrets are my life

If they get out
All will know
And they will think different
They will begin to be concerned

Some will say go seek help
Some will force me to go get help
But I don’t need it
They will say they just care about me
But they fear me
That is why they walk away

If they knew the true me
Then they would know
That I am so different
My mind would begin to show

The evil around me
Would appear to them now
They would realize that they were wrong
Oh so wrong

I’m still walking around
Still living a lie
Still keeping it all inside

My secrets are still mine
My appearance is normal
But my emotions
My inner self
My true self
Is NOT normal
Nor do I expect them to be
Nor do I want them to be
Why would I want to be another clone walking around?
Instead I’m just a body staggering everywhere
And living in the world
But dying on the inside
