Never Mind

Never mind.

The walls closed in Her mind caved

The stress of years hiding

Finally catching up with them.

She hid in plain sight

Made a few lies

Made a disguise

Worn other with the stress of time

It finally cracked

In every school

Words like stones flew

Hurt like waves flowed

Breaking her mask

A little more every time

She wants to be loved

Accepted, treasured

But oh, gods above,

She was too pressured

She was too good an actor

For them to believe

For them to notice

For them to realise that

"Never mind"

Is just another lie

For the feelings she hides.
