Dirty Little Lies

The secrets whispered through my ears 
The lies witnessed by my eyes 
I hide them all inside 
Now no one will ever know 
What's behind my smile disguise 


Its the things I hide inside 
The things that I'll despise 
They're darker and stronger daily 
Always increasing in their size 


They weigh me down 
They hold me bound 
While I shield their lives 
Protecting while I die inside 
And eons on, my wounds wont cauterize

Hi Njoki, I love how you portray hurt from the going on(s) of life here; and it is true that many of us humans tend to hide all inside, knowing not that's it's a burden to us. Keep Up!
