Hide the Pain, Reveal Fear

It's peaceful, you know?

Life without pain,
Suffering, or dispair.

It's like someone
Shot it down...
To make it die-

On the ouside,
All people see is the mask
That others show.

But,
Deep down inside
Everyone knows, there is
Someone hurting.

We can't talk about it,
We can't show.

Not many will understand
Or, want to if that.

The concusion turns to one...
People will always hide.
And, when we come to realize that

It's too late
To help them get back on track.

Their life,
Altering by one thing..
Their attack.
