Yes, darling, maybe now you can see
That I am not all I seem to be
Beneath the innocent laughter displayed
Is a girl brought to her knees in the fray

And in the closet, skeletons scream
As ghosts of my past jump out at me
Yes, everyone left when they saw the dark
There are just too many scars left on my heart

It's only been weeks, but i hope you'll stay
Even after you have seen the fray
Please darling, don't you leave
But I won't blame you,
because nobody could take it, you see.
Every scar is a lesson learnt; it makes you who you are and gives you strength.

{{Yes, I'm scared to tell you, because the ghosts of my past have scared so many away. My story's not complete yet, but I'm scared to go on, because I just hope you won't run away like them, afraid of the mess I am.}}
