Secret Poem by Jessica Pumphrey

It's the only thing I see when I look in the mirror
It's the one thing I hold so dear
It's the only biggest fear
It's the thing I keep close
There is the one thing hidden the most
No need for the medicine, the doctors diagnosed
Just the one thing my mind wants to engross
Sometimes you see it, sometimes it's hard
Sometimes it's clawing right at my heart
What if they knew
What if it slipped out, just out of the blue
What if it came and I had to choose
Between my losses and all of it's causes
The words come in masses
It's mentally harrasive
It eats it way out and makes the ache massive
The pain is too much
It hurts when it's touched
It drowns my inner thoughts and makes a hole in the rush
Let it go
Let it go with the flow
Let it bleed to a slow
Five seconds is to long ago
I feel it slipping
The walls are tipping
The guilt is itching
The scilence is still
Their eye's stare kills
Their movement is clear
That the only movement is the tears
It's more than I can bare
A word more I shall not dare
For the pieces I shall sweep
My insides, how they weep
This secret, I could no longer keep
