I hide my emotions because you wouldn't understand If you knew I had nightmares You wouldn't believe me You would talk about how carefree I am. If you heard that I am weak You wouldn't listen You would say something about my muscles If you saw how scared I am You wouldn't think it was me Saying to yourself how fearless I act
But I stay up at night because of memories of my brother I bring myself down and rip myself apart for my inabilities and faults I am afraid of being vulnerable, and opening up because I've been hurt by those who love me
I hide among my new personality of strength fun freedom and bravery.
