Hide it

I tell myself to hide it
Not show them how I'm feeling
There are new scars on my arms
And the old ones are not healing

I tell myself to hide it
There's no reason for their pain
They try so hard to help me
I won't hurt them once again

I tell myself to hide it
Though it felt good to let them know
I thought that when I told them
All these emotions would go

I tell myself to hide it
So I save it for a rainy day
Down beneath the floorboards
So when I'm feeling lonely, it can come out to play
