Nobody Knows

nobody knows the pain i feel inside nobody knows the tears that i cry i was helpless in the dark feeling hopeless in my heart my body couldnt shut down my mind couldnt cry out silently i tried to scream too scared to make a sound... the despair kept building high as the injustice kept mounting the minutes dragged to hours as i lay bruised and battered... an eternity passes by before my body moves again i pick myself up off the floor move quietly out the door... days turn to weeks weeks flow to years i keep my secret close to me not trusting even myself i feign happiness and health my life, its a picture of joy. but if you look beyond my face underneath the forceful smile you can see the sadness that i hide the emptiness in my heart the bitterness staining my soul... and still nobody knows the pain i feel inside nobody knows the silent tears that i cry...
