I store my secrets in a special place only I know of

Where there is no judgement on my tears

I hide what I don’t want the world to see

Often out of fear, they won’t understand me

I hide memories of you there

Still to raw for my heart to replay

Maybe one day those feelings will dissipate

This pain will fade away

This place inside holds all of my deepest wounds

The ones to painful to view

These wounds have been there since years before

These scars are reminders of what one has been through

The hurt,pain, deception and shame to painful for me to recall

These wounds run so deep they have to

remain hidden behind the protective wall

Otherwise life would be unbearable to manage

Unless I continue to numb my pain

Pretending it never happened, just to make it through the day

These holes run deep within me often forgetting them all

One day I will bring the wall down again, let another into that space

Maybe they will know how to heal me

And forget my pain

They will understand me and how hard it is

to show them that secret hidden place.
