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
