Keeping secrets and hiding things

All from a scared mind that constantly rings

I honestly never know what to expect

In fear of my thighs being checked

Swimsuits and shorts like those other girls?

Just the thought of it makes my head swirl

I wish I could stop, I really do

But nothing brings comfort like the razor blades do

I know I should stop, now that I was found out

But without it, all my mind does is shout

Everything has calmed down, so have I

The doors still locked, to you I still lie

Even when I smile, I crave that bite

To calm my nerves, to see some light

Nothing has really changed, you see

I just got better at hiding the real me

I have gotten so good, sometimes I trick myself

But I know the dark is still there, sitting on the shelf
