My Secret

Tell nobody
They must not know
Stay inside me
You are my secret
Mine alone

At school I smile and laugh
Just as they all do
One look at me and no on thinks,
no one would know
I am just on of them

No one knows how sad I am
They couldn't
I do not tell
My sadness is my secret
My secret alone

I live for my friends and family
They need me
They don't know
but I need them too
I cling to that love
It is what keeps me going

But still I have my secret
The awful one inside
It makes me tremble and shake
It keeps me up at night

I have a good life,
or so I have been told
So why am I so sad?
Why do I cry?
Why am I dead inside?
Why do I carry this secret?
What is wrong with me?

I do not know these answers
But one thing I do know
My Sadness is my secret
One I must carry alone
