Invisible Pain
Sometimes I cry
in the silence of night
from the pain deep inside
which somehow I hide
Every day I pretend
that I am just fine
I laugh and I smile
I bottle the fire
I want to explode
with so much emotion
instead I put on an act
while it implodes inside
There's too much to say
no way to explain
the feelings I have
they won't go away
Nobody knows
what's eating at me
I feel if I tell
no one will understand
This can't go on much longer
I have to release
the pain turns to anger
I need to scream
My brain just won't stop
I have the urge to run away
I want to forget my past
desperation fills my heart
All my thoughts are contradicting
letting go means forgetting
forgetting means being vulnerable
being vulnerable means more pain
I don't want anyone to know
I'm so torn inside
I could so easily be broken
so I must not let anyone in
I always cry
in the silence of night
from the pain deep inside
which I no longer can hide
