some of us are hiding
we smile, we live with open hearts
we hope, we love
and despite all that, we hide
knowing the truth, hiding it from ourselves
or from others
some of us hide the darkness
knowing no one will see through it
we carry flashlights but throw them away
it hurts our eyes
what would they say
when your blood stains the carpet
no, instead we smile
in sunny california where it is always the same
everything is supposed to be ok
but your disappointment brings me shame
hide, she says
tell yourself its ok, so they feel better
bury yourself
so there’s nothing left
now you can be like everyone else
accepting reality
how much you wish you could
because no one cares if you didn’t
that's life
and no one is going to save you
