In Hiding

 It all started with a single drop of blood
An outburst of emotion turned physical flood
Dampening the sounds that escape my body
Pain, suffering, and all that's gone shoddy
I guess you could say I simply want to escape
Rather I put on a mask no chance to let drape
For I must hide all in my life
If I don't, others will experience similar strife
I can't allow those close to feel pain you see
I care too much about the ones around me
So I guess it's goodbye, night after night
For I never truly know when I will lose this fight
