Hiding

I have hidden my life away in a box
Packed in steel with hundreds of locks
Scared someone would steal it away
Now I’m dying everyday, everyday

I hid my troubles, kept secrets well
Held your hand, said my last farewell
I have always been ashamed of me
Afraid of my feelings, afraid to be free

I wanted to run and hide in the night
Twist myself inwards, show outward delight
Hide all emotion, I can make it through
Yet the blemish remains in you

I might as well hold a sign above my head
The wound you have made still bleeds yet
