In the darkness
I can cry, and know one can see my tears
I can feel normal, without long sleeves
I can hurt, and know one can see my pain
In the darkness...
I can't see the struggle
I can't feel the numbness
I can't hide, in the darkness

I wrote this to express how trapped I feel in the life I walked into. And how bad I want to find my way out, but don't know how.
