Secrets

Everyday
I'm dying inside
To try and tell you
Of the girl that used to be

But would you
Look at me like I'm different
because of my past
I so boldly shared with you

I'm not the girl you think you see
There's so much more beneath my linen
the smile's so fake and misplaced
The scars that are hidden would
show you that truth

Most everyday
I talk myself out of talking
Afraid of what you'll say
I don't want you to think different

Today
Again
I walked away
just as I was about to talk
Afraid that things will be different
if these words ever cross my lips
