Secrets I Hide by Tzuhsi

Get up every morning with a smile on my face
No one realizes I dream of getting out of this place
I walk down the street with my head held high
You can't see this secret I hide
Secrets untold
Secrets behold
This world will never see me grow old
People see what they want to see
Why would they care about little Ole me
You put on blinders so you don't have to see
All teh pain hidden deep inside me
The pain I try to hide
The pain hidden from your shut eye
You chose not to say anything at all
You don't know what to do
All you had to do was call
Say hello
How are you today
Maybe if you had it wouldn't be such a gloomy day
The day is almost gone
If people only knew
Just what I had done
Secret scars
Secret lies
Why is there so much pain inside
Hidden stories on my arms
Covered by clothes
And beautiful charms
I go to bed with tears in my eyes
Hoping I don't wake up
Hoping I die

speechless
Ah tzu.... I am speechless at the truth of that poem. We cutters all have our secrets... actually we depressed have our secrets. People who haven't been there just can't relate no matter how hard they try. So we have to keep our chins up... if they ask us if we are okay we say "Of course" and look bright and perky until the right person comes along, the person that has been there too whom we can pour out our feelings to.
