I carry around a blade
Just in case I need a friend
Or someone to protect me
I keep it hidden in the dark
Just like all my secrets
I wear the dark shades
So no one can see my eyes
The color, the emotions
All the secrets locked in them
I wear the headphones
To block out the world
And all the evil that it holds
To take me somewhere
Where my secrets don't matter
And on one day when
The shades no longer mask
All the emotions it hides
And the blade becomes
Your punisher
And not even the headphones
Can block out your worst nightmare
You remember again
Why you stopped crying
In the first place
And why you keep
All those secrets hidden...
