I hide behind locked doors
In more ways than one
Lock my heart behind
Cement walls and fences
So no one can see the cracks
Tears disappear behind
Wide smiles, teeth showing
Strained around the edges
But no one looks twice
Breakdowns only happen
Inside closed doors
Hood over my face
Music blasting in the car
Covering the sounds of
My facade crumbling
I hide a lot and I hide often
But I never hide well
No one notices anyway
Sometimes I wonder
Why I hide at all
Because no one will
Come running to save me
