Torn Pages

I wonder what I wrote  in those pages torn out
 ripped from my journal and its recorded journey.

Perhaps, they were sadder  than I could bear
 in writing, reading and reliving the moments there.

Within me hides a darkness unseen
 unrevealed to others for fear of their learning

IT still exists  pushed down and hiding,
 aching deep inside never to be shown, dying.
