Hidden

People don't like how I am inside
They want me to hide me from myself.

So I hid myself away,
I hid in the shadows,
I hid in my lies,
I hid my heart from your prying eyes.

In summer I hid behind baggy clothes,
In winter I hid behind warm furry coats.

I hid behind my hair,
I hid behind my smile,
I hid my ugly scars,
I hid all my fears.

People ask me how I am,
But I am never there with them.
I am hidden in my room,
I hide behind my politeness.

I hid behind my sarcasm,
I hid behind my books,
I hid myself in darkness,
I hid behind my looks.

I hid my love from you,
I hid all my secrets,
I hid my real thoughts,
So people can say that I'm perfect.
