Internally Dying

Internally dying
I'm quiet yes
but inside I'm a mess
Outside I look blessed
but inside I feel cursed 
I look loved
but I feel hated
I appear to be smiling 
but I'm dying and hurting 
What you see is not real
It's all a lie, it's unreal 
I hide all my pain
but nothing I gain 
At night it all comes back
Back to attack
I cry silently 
I cry quietly 
If only my pillow could talk
It would tell
But I still wake up with a smile, walk 
as if all is well
Yet I am Internally dying.
