Hiding Your Pain

Have you ever wanted to talk,
but did not know how to start.
you missed that opportunity,
to tell them you really cared.
you pretend you're not in pain,
and you tell everyone you are ok.
you spend everyday,
wishing all your pain would go away.
you spend every minute of your day acting,
so nobody knows you have been crying.
you never let anybody see,
what is tearing you apart inside.
