My Past Was a Lie

I've screamed my throat dry For someone to hear me. But the hand that covered MY mouth kept me away. Lies were told in my ears As I was held down, fighing For a way free from this hell. Tears weld in my eyes and Were wiped away quickly. But no one noticed because I had to lie and I started to Believe everything that Came out of my mouth. I wore a mask over my face One that I had not created. My emotions were what I was told to wear. I learned to survive and Keep people distanced. I've pushed everyone Away when they were Only trying to help. But I was still not alone. When I pushed them away They only tried harder. And now that I'm healed They are the people that I love and cherish the most.
