In Hiding

You dress in all black and color your hair
You act gothic and draw hundreds of stares
You intimidate people, make them feel fear
All because you don’t want them to see your tears

You act like a jerk and put others down
You hurt many people and bully them around
You pretend your heart is completely impure
All because you don’t want to show that you’re insecure

You take in substances that mess up your head
You smoke and drink until you’re practically dead
You go out of your mind, nearly insane
All because you want a way to hide your pain

You keep your opinions bottled up inside of you
You make everyone think you’re always so blue
You store your feelings up on a high shelf
All because you’re afraid of being yourself
