why

i hide it away
knowing it's wrong
i'm scared of the glares
the sideways glances
people walking away
my pride in pieces

i can never say it
i'd become the social pariah
off the radar.
i know it's wrong
i don't want it either
i wish i could just live 
normally
without it.
without it plaguing me
bringing me down.

this isn't me
i just want it to 
leave me alone
so i can smile 
without strings for once.
i know only time can fix it
i can't say anything
there's too much risk
of it all falling apart.
no one would believe me anyway.

i know it shows to the
people around me
and yet
only one person knows.
i feel like it's too obvious
but no one wants to
connect the dots
or assume the worst.
they keep me sane.
thank you
for not noticing.


as;ldjfal;skj dying inside what is wrong with me i don't want this let me go gtfo bye
