Hidden Reality
You'll never find the darkest pieces of me, they are deeply hidden
Camouflaged in a smile and fake happy thoughts unwritten

They will not surface, they dwell in fear and shame
I have not permitted these to thrive but, I'm eternally to blame

Many have walked and are still by my side walking
Still alone as there's no one who my mind will stay, understanding

I fear my darkness when shown, they will not appeal
Such rejection my soul cowers, my experience to it is extremely unreal

I cling on to hope and life on a thread
Fearing its snap, that's my only dread

Holding on to pretend, brings me relief
For now, as I breathe, keep going, is my last resort belief
