You'll Never Know

by divine divinity   Sep 10, 2007


The wall, the barrier its all for show
Its to protect me from reality
To hide the truths from the world
You don't even know it exists
You trust the lies
You trust me
But sometimes
I want you to care beyond this,
I want you to see past the smile and into the real me,
I want you to hear the screams of pain, and take me away from here,
I want you to feel my fear, and light the candle in my darkness,
I want you to say you know, that you're not judging, that you'll save me from myself.
But I know you never will,
I know my lies are too good.

If only I could let you in,
If only I could let down my guard,
If only I could accept its human to feel,
If only I did't need the wall.
Then I could tell you everything,
You could hold me up and keep me safe.

Why do I hide everything?
When you're so ready to listen, so ready to care, so ready to help.

Because I'm ashamed,
Because I never want to share the truths,
Because I have to be a rock,
Because I have to ignore myself,
Because the real me is weak.

    Now i like this one even more!
    its very sad but you really show how you felt. i like the technique you used of repetition, it hit harder and bolder but kept it flowing... if that makes sense which it probably doesnt.
    anyway-awesome work.
    what you don't realise is that to write about this showsthat you aren't as weak as you think. i think you are a stronger person than you think!
    keep writing, it helps!
