The Hidden Side of Us
The hidden side of us
The emotions we suppress;
All the gloomy feelings
Versing all the rest
Trapped in our heads,
Cornered in the brain
We pretend to be fine
But the thoughts still remain
We do not want the judgement
We do not want these pains
So what else is there to do
But be tied to these chains?
They would criticize, and
They would ignore
If our internal selves
Were released from their core
We keep it hidden
As hard as it can be
For the sake of others
Who believe we are free.
From the terror of panic
And that great misery,
We keep a false beam
To comfort society
As the days and nights pass
And we gain and lose trust
There's the side that is clear, and
The hidden side of us.

My inspiration came from teenage depression, panic attacks, and anxiety disorders. With these issues come the idea that there are two sides of you. One, you show to make everyone else believe you are happy and everything is great. The other, is your real inner feelings, that are negative and so you therefore keep hidden as your other side is released into society. I hope my audience who encounters these thoughts and feelings knows that other people do the same thing. You are not alone!
