Dark Secret


Why do I treat my true self
As some sort of dark secret?
Always hiding what’s really going on
Except with my true friends?

There are so many acquaintances
Who don’t know
But I’m afraid to let them
Afraid that they’d pity me too much
Or would be afraid themselves

And so I keep smiling
Though it pains me to do so
And makes me want to scream in frustration

Perhaps I’m afraid to let too many in
Afraid they would hurt me in the end
Especially now when I’m so close to breaking

I know I’m only hurting myself
Even with the knowledge that all secrets come out
Dark or light
Joyous or morbid
All secrets are exposed in time
Usually against someone’s will

So why do I feel I’m special?

this is really good... very true to alot of people/poets too i think.
the question at the end adds to this poem though, it sets it apart from other poems to me.

great write and read. good work.
