He told me not to lock away pain.
I told him my eyes don't lie.
He said, when no one notices it can hurt all the while.
My response was that I simply can't...
Hiding emotions isn't on my skill list.
No matter how many years, levels, I have passed.
To make this life that more simple...
I do not hide.
I speak out to the public.
But not directly to my friends.
Because strangers who know truths are greater in the end.
Silence is how these emotions get responded to, sometimes a vote, or a comment.
But mainly this is how I am...
Never one to run.
Never one to hide.
But one to stand.
