Inside's a secret
Nobody knows
It cuts
It stabs
No scars to be shown

Once was a time
when the only escape
was holding onto
some concrete sedate
It gave some perception
The psyche turned to hate
So long as it helped pain alleviate

Till came the time
of ultimate surrender
A battle lost
to a deranged contender
When avoidance and denial
gave way to reality and peace
A newfangled manner
less passive aggressive defeats

From captivity to resurrection
In a river brimming
with aspirations and mutual beliefs

Still it cuts
Still it stabs
Still no scars to be shown
Inside's a secret no one will truly know...
