Tormented Mind

The tormented mind cries in silence,
  the pain is almost too much to bare;
  always having to put on a false face,
  pretending that you care.
  
  There is no magic cure all pill,
  believe me I've tried them all;
  You just have to keep on going,
  hoping you don't finally fall.

  At times the pain is overwhelming,
  giving up would be the easy way out;
  I know in my heart that's not an option,
  although my mind is filled with doubt.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
