The Hidden Past

The secret follows me around
Like a shadow on the ground
I hide behind a joyous mask
Yet in this pain I tend to bask

The secret lives in a world of pain and hate
Hidden behind a never opened gate
A gate hiding memories
Puts the mind at ease

Where's there's a lock
There's a way
Give you a shock
Memories splay

A world of pain and hate
A world of memories
Hidden behind a gate
Puts the mind at ease

Left behind and all alone
In a place no light has shown
The past returns and haunts your thoughts
Your vision fills with colored dots

A world of pain and filled with hate
Hidden by a locked up gate
Hiding all your memories
That helps to put the mind at ease
IS BEST LEFT CLOSED
