A Big Dream

Why can't I say it,
I want to let it go.
To get it into the open, 
So everyone will know.

But if they find out,
It will break their hearts.
Me telling them,
Letting it hit them like darts.

Seeing the hurt in their eyes,
Filling up with pain.
Letting them know my secrets,
I am to blame.

Looking at the tears in their eyes,
As the pain will grow.
Now they can tell me,
I am really low.

So now I know what it's like,
 To be a low down dirty shame.
After five minutes I'm still standing here,
But i'm not feeling the same.

Now I got to my room,
After my parents say things aren't what they seem.
Falling asleep and waking up the next morning,
Realizing this was all one big dream.
