scars hidden from you

we met when we were thirteen.    

that's all you know about Before

and you've never asked, so 

I never told you

that 

a loud, superhero-obsessed extrovert  

could be broken

could forget who they were 

could never want to live

could fall and

wonder why,

it was happening again

why does power

seem to rule out any logic

that 'they' weren't 

'nice students'

'polite children'

that 'they' were

my tormentors

my nightmare

except

I couldn't just wake up


and it all be a dream


and

I met

'you'

why are

my hobbies,

my personality,

my life

such a 

joke to

'them'? 

So,

when we met,

the

'new'

me

is all

you

know

I'm glad you

don't know

about the

scars

that I've

somehow

kept hidden from

you 

for so

long
