Hurting On the Inside

When I walk through the halls, Everyone see’s a smile, They hear a laugh And think nothing of it, Why wont you ask me what’s wrong? I want someone to look through my lies, And see that im dieing on the inside Why cant people see the real me? Why cant they see what’s wrong? What if one day I go home and hurt myself, And the next day im gone? Would you even care? Would you even shed a tear? I just want someone to look through my lies, And know that im hurting on the inside.

Yes, so many of us are..hurting..yet do not expect people to relate to you ..honestly...if you are not willing to trust them, in turn, with your true feeling. Folks are not mind readers, help is there for the asking. Light & Love and welcome to the soup!

won't...I'm...the ' stands for a missing letter ..these are called contractions...you want people to look past the surface deep into you....words help them..thanks for sharing yours. Light & Love

This Is EXACTLY How I Feel Most Of The Time...Except Ive Already Been Past You..Unless You Just Havent Written So Yet. I Use To Hurt Myself. I Use To Dissapear With Drugs....I Use To Hide..And Slowly I Disappeared For A While....No ONE Notices Really. They Just Assume You've Changed. Or Something. Either That. Or They Just Dont Care To Ask. You Know As Well As I Do That Sometimes, They Just Should. Peace. Boo

Ashley, God looks through to the inside. Man is only able to see the outside. Let someone in. But, make sure the person you let in can be trusted. Suicidal ideation? Stop! Call the suicide hotline: 1-800-273-8255. Going to the other side may not mean that we will feel better. So, turn to God, find a friend, someone you trust. Get help, if needed. And realize that you have written a very effective poem. It drew me in. Keep writing. God bless you and Welcome to Poetry Soup. Always, Dane
