Secrets

You think that you know me.
You say that you understand.
But you don't know
Half of the things that I've been through.
You think I'm happy.
You think I'm carefree.
You think I'm a normal daughter.
But you don't know
You don't know that I used to be suicidal.
You don't know that I used to be depressed.
You don't know how frustrated I am.
You don't know how confused I am.
You think that you know me.
But there are so many things that you don't understand.
All you can see is my mask.
You only see one side of me.
The side that I choose to show in public.
But you don't know what I'm like when no one else is around.
You don't know what I'm like when all of my walls are down.
Every single one of them.
You don't know what I'm like alone at night.
You haven't seen the tears.
You haven't seen the scars.
I have secrets that you don't know.
And I'm taking them to the grave.
