I'm a fake
panic and stress are hidden away
I sit here unstable full of tears, secrets, shame
what if you see
all the feelings trapped in me
denial, lies, sadness
I'm afraid I'm about to break
Buried feelings causing pain
I fake it and laugh at everything
hypersensitivity
afraid and lonely
She said to me
"I'm not afraid...Know that You're Loved...because you are"
"Hey...do you hear me? I'm your girl, and you are my love"
I fell apart and you stayed
made excuses and you listened
didn't try to fix me
How have I not scared you away?
hypervigilance and sorrow
I struggle every day
To bury the trauma and the shame
I fake it and laugh at everything
hypersensitivity
afraid and lonely
She said to me
"I'm not afraid...Know that You're Loved...because you are"
"Hey...do you hear me? I'm your girl, and you are my love"
"Hey...I'm not afraid...I feel loved"
"Hey...do you hear me? I love you more than I've ever loved"
