it was never for attention.
never meant for anyone to see.
something most people never have to think about
from day to day
is constantly on my mind.
i asked her, what do people say
when they see?
she said, "i never let them"
never let anyone get that close.
suffered to keep that secret
keep it hidden away
my past is written all over my body
and i want to stop worrying,
i want to be free.
free to be who i am
and wear what i want,
but that may not be the answer right now.
all i can do is wait.
it's stressful and sad,
but one day i can feel free again.
i'm leaving that life behind
and growing beyond it.
