The Secret

I’m pretending to be strong 
When beneath I’m broken 
A billion pieces 
Maybe more 

Put on the facade 
Play charades 
So that no one knows 
What I hide 

A horrible secret
No one knows 
No one could ever understand 
Like a cancer hidden

It eats me alive.....

It’s not a disease 
It’s a horrible darkness 
It hides there waiting to emerge 
Devouring my soul 

No one understands it 
No one sees it but I 
And I hide it away.. in the secret 
That no one knows
