Shhhhhh
I have a secret
I keep it buried inside
It teases and taunts me
Strips me of pride
Just when I'm happy
Can finally see the sun
It awakens with vengeance
Let's me know it's not done
Always there in the back of my head
I just want to kill it
Make it dead
The power it has over me
Will surely one day break my soul
I try to forget it
I scream for it to go
But I'm afraid if it leaves me
I'll be all alone
After all of these years
It's all that I've known
Maybe deep down
I get pleasure from its pain
Until I figure that out
Locked away it will stay..
