I closed my eyes
To keep the tears in.
I squeezed my eyes
And took a deep breath in.
I can't let them see
Because I am scared.
Scared that they will judge me
Because no one cares.
I don't dare to open the faucet
The faucet in my eyes.
I will hide in a closet
And only then let go of my cries.
When I walk out of the closet
I will act like I am strong.
I will act like I am not terrified
That someone might find out
I lied.
That someone might find out
Those secrets of mine
I will put on a happy face
Even if it's fake.
I will make sure not to leave any trace Of tears that left my cheeks stained.
I will be brave
'Cause weakness is what
this scary world craves.
