The Vailed

There’s another side to me
That I keep locked away
Forever fearful, to slip up one day.

A side that you don’t see
Now beginning to dilate
As I begin to fear it’s too late

A dark sub-conscience
Hidden in the corner of my mind,
Trying to leave my past behind

Hidden behind a smile
Trying to deceive
Feelings overwhelm as I begin to grieve

This side of me
That’s locked away
Hidden from you,
Hidden this day…
