Deep Dark Secret

I keep everything hidden
no one knows my deep dark secret.

I'll keep it hidden
so no one will know.

I cry at night wanting to be understood
wake up every morning wishing i could stop feeling this way.

But I keep it hidden
look into the mirror and say "OK it's time to put your happy face on".

I lay awake in sighs and deep pondering
wondering what it would be like for normalcy.

It's become a habit to keep it hidden.
almost a daily routine.

Until that day I finally get the courage to let it all go
I'll just keep it hidden.

So no one will know my deep dark secret.
