Hide

A Poem by the penumbra
"

We all have secrets, right?

"
You hide the purple under your eyes
You hide your shaking fingers
You hide the fact that after each meal you run to the bath room to throw it all up
You hide beneath your jacket for warmth,
Though it's 90 degrees outside.
Your ashamed of your yellow-white skin full of scars
Eating hurts you more than not eating
You hide your slumberless nights through coffee and energy drinks
You hide your once-and-a-while cigarettes
You hide all your fears with smiles. 
You close your eyes,
Forget the pain
You hide the fact that your scared of your boyfriend
You hide the fact that your scared of everyone
You hide the fact that your jacket somehow is now 3 sizes too big.
You don't want to go home,
Your scared of that place
It's constantly cold
You hide that your falling apart
You hide that sometimes when you open your eyes you forget who you are. 
I hide. 
I hide all these things. 
I hide.
She will always hide.
