I've revealed myself to others
but it always backfired;
I can't risk being hurt again.
So I hide in my thoughts
never letting anyone in
to know what's plaguing me.
If you looked into my eyes,
you'd see the demons
just below the surface.
There's a darkness
deep inside
that I cannot escape,
There's a burning fury
boiling just
under my skin.
Once I was afraid
to let people
see the real me.
Now I'm hesistant to show them
lest they reject me
like all the others.
