If only...

By swf27texas

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If only everyone knew all of the pain I am feeling. They think they know me so well but they don't know a thing. They don't know a thing about the nights I stay up crying. They don't know about the hurt when they see me smiling. They don't know how hard it is to always keep them laughing, When inside I feel like dying. They don't know my happiness is only to hide my sorrow, Or how hard it is having to face the hurt of tomorrow. They don't know my smile is only to hide my tears From all this pain that has been building up for years. They cannot see my tears rolling down my heart. Hidden by a smile from a soul that has been torn apart. They don't know the dreams I tell them are only to hide the nightmares. And they don't know how it feels inside when it seems like no one cares. Written October 28th, 2001 © on Oct 28 2001 02:05 PM PST   0 • 1
