Hidden

Behind my insecurity I'm lost, shamed in my impurity I feel so covered, so exposed Yet I must hide behind my woes All and all, it's all the same This problem shouldn't cause this pain If I hide it, could I douse the flame? But silence only brings me shame I'm only barely getting by How could I hide behind a lie? My body's frozen solid, but it hides a flame Beyond this lie, I've lived behind another name The endless lie, the sheltered sheet, They are worn, becoming weak. Burning, tearing, not built to last They must be buried in the past My cover's rent, my memories skewed What will it take to live anew? My skin is peeling, muscles weak
