My Binding Secrets

My secrets bind me 

To the person I hate,

And I wish I could escape

And see

Just who I could be

Without these burdens I bear,

Because maybe I’d float in the air

Without this weight on my shoulders,

For it feels like a boulder

That I carry around,

And nobody seems to notice

The scars on my arm,

Or my grumbling stomach,

Or the way

I sleep through the days
