The Hidden Truth

I suffered in silence But could never hide the pain From the marks on my face To walking home in the rain Everyday I tried to be perfect But it did me no good Everything I did was wrong Which I misunderstood The cuts and bruises healed But inside they did not Even though I’m not in that room My heart never forgot The helplessness you feel It’s hard to explain But you lose something inside you And you never are the same I hoped someone noticed Just one person to care But when I looked up for help No one was ever there
