The Sickness
Hide the sickness . Hide the sin.
Hide the pain deep within.
I fake a smile and close my eyes.
It’s all I can do not to cry.
I can’t hide my demons. I can’t hide the pain.
Everything I do is just in vain.
I close my eyes and find relief in sleep.
The nightmares soon will creep.
I wake up screaming and yelling.
What was it about? I’m not telling.
