Secret Pain

Before we grow up 
We don't know evil
We only know love 
Not any mean people

We go thru pain 
While others get hurt
They're called isane 
Names drug thru dirt

Stick by your family
Its all you got
And dont go rambling
Told, but not taught

They wear a smile
You hide the tears
For just a while
Now turns to years

Don't say a damn word
They won't believe you
Some thing's never heard
Very sad, but still true

Keep your lips sealed
Nope not a peep
The scars will heal still
Secrets you better keep

Nobody else can know 
Nobody ever cares
No evidence to show
Just too damn scared

It never gets better
Cuts just get deeper
Eyes only get wetter
Strength becomes weaker

Your whispers so low
Fears are so strong
Just a dead end road
Been way too long

They have control
They have all the power
Nowhere to go 
Ashamed of being a coward

Who am I to tell 
What will they say
I live here in hell
Wishing I'd die everyday

They don't give you warnings
Tell the truths of life
Pain from night til morning
I really just wanna die

You sit & you cry
You look up above
Tears fall fromyour eyes
Ask God what have I done

They've always hurt you
Yet they're still free
You don't know what to do
Still scared and can't speak

They kept you very quiet
For far too many years
Stay up all thru the night
Fighting the demons so near

Even still, there's no help
You're truly all alone 
Some of very high wealth
Some who had already known

You take a deep breath
Let out a slow sigh
Think your only peace is death
Telling yourself you have to die
