I have revealed
A lot more of myself
Than any of you realise

I have torn chunks of skin
And revealed a canary in a cage for a heart
It chirps charming words at you
It dances for you
Before being plague with guilt and revulsion
And hiding away
It will come back I promise
At least, that's what I say?

I have scratched away deceit scrape by scrape
and shown only despair
That is still here
And doesn't look
Like it's going anywhere

I rip my fears like hangnails
and leave them to fester
Hoping one day that they heal
But I do not put a band-aid on
Because they will heal, Right?

I have revealed
A lot more of myself
Than any of you realise

But there is so much more
Hidden

But I can not tell you about them
It is forbidden

Until Next year
