Thirteen

You've held it too long to yourself
A secret since age 13
Lost alone in your own hell
You cleanse your soul but it won't stay clean

I'm here to help, what can I do?
Just name a place and we can go
If only I could take this away from you
I'd make it all better with the time of a breath
But I know

It's there when you wake
But more when you close your eyes

(more to come)
