The Pain Of Being Me

Secret

Dear best friend,
There's something I've been wanting to tell you for a while
A secret oh so deep
That I'd never dare speak
For the words feel oh so terrible
If I ever dare think them
I know that you'll stay quiet
Cause you're the one that won't betray me
Dear friend there's a reason I am the way I am
Why it took so long to trust you
Why I hate wearing those dresses
You know most of my story
But you don't know every part
I only ask that you stay beside me for this war
This is all just eating at me
I think it's time to let it go
I'm held captive in this prison that I lock myself in
Feel trapped behind the bars that I fail to pry apart
I know that you will listen
Even if you don't reply
I just need you to confide in
And help break from my silence
Maybe you can help me find some way to find comfort
So I'm telling you this secret
Hoping that you will help me...
