Suffering in the truth

by xEmmax   Oct 3, 2005


I dance, and laugh, and put on my act
the only one people will see,
For I'm hiding a disturbing secret inside
the truth they don't know about me.

I put on my make-up, dress, and shoes,
adding the bracelets and smile,
i wonder how long i can live like this,
i may only hold on for a while.

What if they ask why i live in long sleeves,
say they find out that I'm weak?
what if they notice the cuts and scars
with no explanation for me to speak.

Who would be friends with the mental case,
who would hold on to her tight?
What would they say if they knew the truth,
of the hurt she suffered each night.

Rumor would fly with blackened wings,
spreading the tale of ill health
everyone whispers, my secret is out,
I'm the girl who killed herself.
