Own It - the Realest Parts of Me

Owning the darkest parts of myself The me that I never let out Trapped little girl, buried deep Under my false, pretentious, pretty girl exterior Her name is Depression Bi-Polar, Borderline Personality This inner self pulls me into the dark and twisty night To a place where no light shines through Cold, empty loneliness A place where we barely eat We watch the flood flow from our flesh My sad inner self and my fake happy outer shell Fighting, battling for control Stay hidden depression No one wants to see your deformed face Everyone wants rainbows and sunshine Not dark, thunderous rain Smile Be the pretty girl you are supposed to be Happy, sweet, enigmatic Be proud of who you are Embrace your flaws and your secret side. But how can you be proud of your truth How do you love the part of you that you keep hidden When the darkest parts of you Are the parts that scare you the most?
