Its Been Hidden

                                      My Heart Poured Out on Paper
                                                    (a poem)



Hope was never there
Now i just sit and stare
stare out into the darkness
waiting for something to see who I really am

This agony is peace
as it drips i find release
release from the numbness eating at my soul
Start to see who i really am
just don't believe it

I feel I'm insane
always knowing im not the same
the same as everyone
or as sane as everyone
cuz im not
But you don't see who i really am

Trust has been distilled
ans your cup is being filled
with the false truth
and false beliefs about who i really am

Anger i feel by will
just so my hearts not still
still with thinking of you
cuz you're the only one that sees who i really am

Now i want you to know the truth
and the battles i've been through
because your not scared
like i am.
