The Hurt

I swallow in the sorrow Gulping whole this soiled, bleaching pain Carry a strained smile Choked in my mid breath It's almost never ending It can almost be heard The hurt is almost lost Too lost for words I bury this smile Choked in my mid breath As the hurt transcends beyond Almost draining Too draining for words

This was well done, and I admire a person who can be honest about their life. I will give you one piece of advice you can completely ignore though... Surround yourself with people who help you see the good in this world, and not the people who sit with you and help you hurt more. Find people to understand your pain, yet help you see the wonderful person inside yourself. Remember those people will not agree always :) xoxox, Red Chin up the sun will come up tomorrow! hugs
