Double Life

As I rise from the darkness,
The world around me is scarred.

I can see the damage I have done,
But it's too late.

To try and fix it now would be a great feat,
A feat that I can't over come.

No matter what I have to press on,
Wipe away the tears and force a smile.

Not many know of my struggle,
How could they when I hide it so well.

Until it's time to bring my secret life into the light,
I surrender myself into the darkness.
