Awake

I open my eyes
I am awake
I feel the anger 
upon my face
I feel the pain,
the hurt,
the fears,
I've felt this pain for many years.
This pain I feel Is rather Strange.
People Think That Im deranged.
But instead of acting this way
I decide to put away
The pain inside that I feel
never again Will I heal
