Stuck In My Thoughts

I sit, I stare.
Possibly hoping that my pencil will write for me
The page free of words,
Other then the ones I didn’t write

I sit, I stare.
Thinking of something
That I could write.
My mind blank, numb, unfeeling

I sit, I stare. 
Nothing
My eyes welling up with tears
I don’t know why

I sit, I stare.
Blinking back tears 
A paper i can’t do 
Now I can barely see

I sit, I stare.
My mind now racing
Thinking about things I don't want to think about
A tear slides down my cheek

I sit, I stare.
Hiding my pain
No one can know
That i'm hurting

I sit, I stare.
People all around me Talking, laughing
I feel so alone
But no one can know, so
 I sit, I stare, and cover it all with a smile :)
