Secrets

I can't look in the mirror
Because I'm scared of what I'll see
I know that I've changed
And I'll never be the old me

My friends don't know a thing
About the pain I feel inside
They don't know about the knife
Or how many times I've cried

They don't know about my fears
This is all the stuff I hide
I just can't seem to tell them
Though many times I've tried

I don't know how to tell them
Or how they would react
I feel as if I'm slipping away
And my world is turning black

I can't hold on any longer
This knife, it cuts so deep
My eyelids are starting to close
My heart is starting to weep

For every cut that I made
I made myself so weak
My life is nearly over
This life that's been so bleak
