Secret Pain

I'll bury my pain deep inside
so no one can see it
so no one feels sorry for me
I don't need your pity.

I'll just go about life like usual
fake a smile, laugh it off
when deep down inside
I can hardly breathe

It's like ten million pounds on my chest
ten million scars that reopen and bleed
they cut so deep into my flesh
it's like deadly hands grasping at my throat
suffocating me, killing me
