Hidden Pain

You cannot tell by looking at someone
What demons are tearing at their souls
How many tears their eyes cannot show
The endless pain that life has given them
Somehow, they manage to survive
Some even manage to thrive
But they keep their pain hidden
They do not want you to judge them
Or make things worse
They want to live the best lives they can
Just like the rest of us
