Telling Secrets - otherwise titled, This Isn't About Who You'd Think

I’m keeping this secret
Even from you
If I tell then it becomes real
Stop reading


I’d like to cry
But you’re lucky
Someone already broke that
Invisible tear ducts

My eyes are dry
But heart wet
Blood tears hidden from everyone
Except me

I’m screaming in pain
Silent frozen pain
I told you I was tough
You think I’m fine

I don’t tell people
How much it hurts
There’s a broken piece inside
It’s catching the blood

I have a smile
Brittle and cheerful
Don’t tear off that smile
Or the scream escapes

It’s not your fault
It’s mine
I’ll take the blame until I break
I like you happy
