Life

Stop. 
You only think you understand, 
You do not truly know. 
When I hurt, 
When I cry;
You think you know the reason, 
You think you know the cause. 
There is much I do not speak, 
I tend to hold things inside. 
You may never hear the reasons, 
You may only hear a cover. 
Much of my sadness, 
I do not even understand. 
What caused these tears?
What caused this anger? 
I do not know. 
I can only tell myself,
It will get better. 
Smile, push on,
Life is worth living.
