There is still hope

I run and I cry

I swim and I scream

As I live

I have two lives

I try to hide my screams

I try to hide my tears

And I fear

What if someone sees me

What if some judges me

I can't take that torment

I can't take the judgement

I live in fear

Trusting no one not even myself

I live while I run

I run away from my memories

I run to get away

To try to feel free

I run to forget

As I run

My eyes sting because of my tears

My throat burns because of my silent screams

My heart races in fear

People see me happy

While i bury what i really feel

I try to convince myself that I am happy

I try to pretend my past was a nightmare

I try to forget

I live in a society where it judges

Where people are fake

Where people are self centered and self righteous

Yet there is hope

I know people who I can trust

If i know how to

To try to open up to

To see if i can

But at least there are people i can let in
