Keep It Hidden

I'm sitting on the side of this cliff,
Looking down into the emptiness,
I know I am alone but what if,
I was not so god damn hideous.

Maybe I should not have gotten up today,
And all of a sudden,
I stand up and try to keep these feelings at bay, 
I need to keep them hidden.

Cause I can't let anyone see them,
Need to pretend to be dreaming of going far.
Buts thats why you are reading this poem,
Even though it seems so bizarre.

But I can't guarantee, 
That I won't just recede.
