Hiding in the Dark

Face drenched in tears Trying not to make a sound Hiding in the dark I don’t want to be found Feeling so alone Locked in a condensed room Hiding in the dark Covered in my incense perfume Pushing all away Trusting only me, myself, and I Hiding in the dark So no one can say goodbye Always in pain Not letting myself heal Hiding in the dark Until I am unable to feel Nobody can get too close Repeating the viscous path Hiding in the dark I need to control all this wrath Speaking to nobody Trying to be perfect in their eyes Hiding in the dark Cannot accept more goodbyes Smiling all the time Everyone thinks I am okay Hiding in the dark Putting on a great display A facade is all I am No one knows my inner emotions Hiding in the dark Only with all these ‘potions’ They have not found a cure Fourteen years and no cause Hiding in the dark I have to put my life on pause I have not told a soul I will never break the seal Hiding in the dark I refuse to heal
