Hidden
Hidden/buried inside...
Layers
Many pieces that barely fit together
Hidden/buried inside
Walls
Built to keep people and feelings out
Built to keep emotions and secrets in
Hidden/buried inside
Smiles, love, and joy
Hidden/buried inside
Sadness, pain, guilt, sorrow
Caused by past memories and events that are tried so hard to be forgotten
Hidden/buried inside
Self hatred
Not only for the reflection in the mirror, but also the person inside
Hidden/buried inside
Anxiety and worry
Worry that people are seeing the person I loathe to see in the mirror everyday
Anxiety that I am no longer wanted or needed
Forgotten about
Hidden/buried inside
All of these secrets and feelings
All the things I'm afraid to say because then that might be all they see
Hidden/buried inside
An open heart begging for the walls to be broken down
Begging the tough girl act to stop and let somebody in
Hidden/buried inside
A scared girl
Too scared to let anyone in
Too scared of the person they might find
Too scared to admit how scary this all really is
