No body understands

No body understands

A Poem by Lehlohonolo Lichaba

Nobody understands.

I hide my marks behind a smile,

But deep down I’m empty,

It’s a deep dark hole I can’t fill

 

Sometimes I wish I could call out,

Call out the ground to open and swallow me,

Or even reach down my throat,

Reach down my throat and rip my heart out

 

Nobody understands.

We both smile of course,

Only wish my smile was as legit as yours,

Instead it’s a mask I put on to cover the sadness

 

Sometimes I wish I could call out,

Call out a lightning to strike me down

Because now I’m just a vessel

Happiness is no more.

 

Nobody understands.

 I’m slowly fading away.

Bit by bit drifting away.

But nobody understands.

wow, you've a good grammar and good points once again... this is great,
Low-lee I can relate to you when you said nobody understands... but not all of course... There are people who understands you but they're quite nonexistent because they wont reveal their presence to you but good write anyway...
I'm looking forward to more of your writing (:

You'd be amazed who understands. Well written from the depths of sorrow. You're young, it does get better.

Gets what exactly? Unless one is not human, certainly someone does. No one is alone.
This is really sad, but it is amazing and it has a great flow.
Great work!
