They forgot about me

Left me there alone

With all my thoughts inside my little mind

Another word I never said about it

But inside my brain all of it remained

Stored there in a folder marked

OPEN IF YOU DARE

open if you want to know

all the stuff that was covered up

Covered up, brushed aside, pushed under the rug

To never be spoken again

Until my mind reveals what it knows

The secrets inside me I've kept for so long

Eating away at the guts inside me

Twisting and turning it's making me see

The truth inside me only I can set free

But how do I do that

How do I succeed

Through all of this struggle

When can I finally be me

By

fact or fiction
