Unseen hurt

I am hurt 
And you can not see
The hurt that i have 
Is inside of me
You cant see the pain
I live with everyday
This is the kind of hurt
That does not go away
It didnt happen overnight
It got worse over time
Now i live with a pain 
I can not leave behind 
i have tried to forget 
The things that ive been through 
It would be  so much easier 
If you only knew
But everyday i fake a smile
Sometimes i even laugh 
I try to keep the real me 
Hidden underneath a mask
i hope one day 
the pain will go away
I dont want to spend my life 
Hurtting in this way
