Denial

I have met wonderful people

People who have shown me the secrets they know about how a life should be lived

And everyone’s got their own answers

To face the tests that come from each day of living

I have shown these people my solutions as well

But God passed a different exam to each person

Testing their will power, questioning their faith

And on the outside you can see the small struggles I’m facing

But a greater battle is waging beneath my thick flesh

I hide the fight I face each day

From the wandering eyes of strangers

And even some familiar faces may never see the darker side in me

Time and time again I deny the entirety of my existence

But as my bones lay exposed

And people see what I’m made of

Will they too deny that I exist?
