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!
