Im learning more and more each day
that people are more like me
who hide behind a mask
so the truth cannot be seen.
so many happy faces
always full of glee
hiding from reality
they are so much like me.
Two of my best friends
I never would have guessed
that they were hiding
not letting anyone know they were depressed.
Im not the only one to have drawn blood
from beneath the skin
trying to wash the pain away
thats buring deep within.
I put on a smile
to hide my mistakes
of each cut of the blade
and how long it all takes.
My parents are absent
they dont have a clue
but I know the truth
of the daughter they never knew.
The person I once was
has long since disappeared
and in her place
is what I most feared.
