The Pain That is Hidden

Deep in dungeon, I shiver in fear,

Knowing the world would laugh and would cheer,

They await my demise with patience and cunning,

Waiting for the day I stop running,

And icy expectations cover my path,

Making it slippery with more people's wrath,

I've built up my walls slowly and steady,

Hoping they'll only come down when I'm ready,

Most people see me as independent and strong,

Only the closest of friends see their wrong,

Behind my dark eyes you'll find the information you seek,

And only then you'll see that I'm weak,

This is my cry for help that no one will ever hear,

And in my dark shell I'll shed more than one tear,

So tear down my walls and break down my glass,

Find the pain that is hidden in my past.
