Tears slip down my face
Too fast for me to control
I hide my face
Too embarrassed, too ashamed
I feel so hurt
My heart becomes too numb
Not because of boyfriends or what not
But the hatred and the fear
Every word, every laugh, every look
They scar me in ways no boy can accomplish
My eyes they hide secrets behind
The darkness holds me close
It's blanket over me keeps me warm
It shelters me when the light is blinding me
And this is my go to place
I call the dark my home.
And I'm proud to do so
