Pain

suffering in silence 
I pretend to be happy to keep the family alive 
Wearing a ring scared with hurt 
Love don't live here but still I stay 
I can't let my neighbors know I have failed 
No love for me just pain 
With this ring I  commit to live a lie, pretending happiness live in these walls 
I live on my knees praying for an open door
Only in death will I get peace 
I choose to sit in  pain 
I choose to cry 
I choose to live in this lie 
I can't let my neighbors know I have failed 
Loveless, no passion within 
I call on death 
When will my pain end 
I am suffering in silence

A powerful poem Sonya. A sad situation of which only you know the truth, but no one should live a life of emotional turmoil.
