The Real You

Thru darkness unknown to you you speak the truth but no one hears You're all alone in a world of dreams but you can't wake up No one knows you're gone The pain you hold is a secret from all Nightmares played all over again But no one knows the pain your're in "I know how you feel," they tell you But you know they'd never understand the true meaning of alone You reach out for someone to talk to but no one is around Silence fills air Trust is something they take for granted Whispers fill the universe No one ever keeps their word They don't really mean what they say They keep their sheilds of lies No one knows what true pain is Everyone regrets their past mistakes But only the future matters Nothing you do will ever change that So why stay so involved The future is your life ahead

Raw emotion right here. This piece is simply beautiful from it's core to the end. Basic and understandable to all. A meaningful piece talking about trust and pain. Experience in our daily life actually. Opening up to someone is basically hard even to family members. Yet, we have to move on, and look forward to the future. This is all completely correct, yet, the past stays with you, basically, haunts you. I hope you can find someone who can hold you when you need to be hold. Great write, Sami.
