Nobody needs to

Nobody needs to know.
Nobody has to.
Nobody needs to.
Why would they?

They know my story,
They know my past,
They know my fears and hopes and dreams.
But do they really know?

They know the insecurities,
They know about the scars,
They know it's hard.
But do they really know?

Do I really know?
Do I want to know?

The words; they sting.
The hopes; they shatter.
The dreams; they dream.

Nobody has to know.
Nobody needs to know.
I don't need to know.
I don't want to.
