It Hurts

The pain goes deep But is invisible To all who see No one knows The suffering And hurt it causes So much anguish Frustration and upset But our face hides The truth inside Everyone assumes All is okay So you just Keep it concealed Allowing others to notice We are suffering Is surely a weakness That shouldn’t Be shown Smile sweetly Whilst you crumble Slowly plummeting From the torment Despair and sorrow Then beyond all hope Someone takes your hand

each of us knows pain in our own way. Those who have others that recognize the hidden pain are truly blessed. Great piece.

It seems I didn't invent hiding pain.. For myself, to show pain is to be weak.. Love the ending. Nice to have someone who cares.

Far too often showing pain etc is seen as showing weakness, when in fact it can show great strength. Thank you, yes it is nice to have someone who cares
