I was not good at Hide and Seek, So I was always chosen the last in a team. I could never tell a lie, So my friends and family never told me their secrets, They nicknamed me tell tale. I could never fight my battles, My siblings and friends were there for me. Now that I have a broken heart, Wounded and scarred, I have learned to hide my pain and tears  behind my veiled eyes, I have learned to hide my sorrow behind my fake smile, I have learned to make my silence my strength, To face my ordeal, heal and move on. 18/2/2019
