Pain

I look around me See I am not alone I am lonely among all No one sees my pain I hide it inside me No one sees my tears I wipe them away I bury my fears I don’t open myself For another blow to my soul Would surely end me Love is but a dream Not ever in my life Pain suffering coexist in me I am not me anymore I have disappeared gone I hide behind a mask Seeing but not a part Existing but not living I hide my pain, tears, and fears I will not show them I will not share them Please save yourself Let me go let me fade

The solitude of your poem is very touching, and the escape to isolation almost painful to read. But thanks for sharing, Teresa, and I wish that the solitude be change to solace...

Finnally it has changed to solace and more self assured. Thank you David.
