This Pain

i wear this pain with my head held high. you can't see me cry,you would never know 
that i employ laughter,when inside i just want to die.  this pain has also given me 
respect for others-its given me diginity. this pain in my heart i can live with. its for 
me and only me,its not for the world to see. this pain does not define me,cannot 
confine me,it can only make me stronger-this pain.
