The pain that we hide

This is a poem that came to be while I was doing homework.

No one can ever see the pain that we hide inside. They do not see the pain that we are forced to swallow every day. Our fear is our own; they don't want to know about us. Why should they be involved? Why should we show them what we must deal with each day of our lives?

We live our whole lives in confusion and fear. And yet they still don't care. Inside we are being torn apart each and every day. And yet they still don't bother with us. Half of us is alive but another half is dead. We all must live with the feeling of disgust to ourselves. And they don't shed a single tear...

The thing that can help, the thing that can heal. Are the flames or a blade and the sting of the steel. The destruction of skin, the shed of blood symbolizes the death of a part of your soul. With each slash, with each burn you lose a part of your soul.

And yet....the pain is still there ......the feeling of being Alone......

I am there with you...each word you say i can relate to...your poem is so very honest one can see directly thru the pain and anguish you are going thru...you write as you feel and that i say is a gift...not many are open and bold with their feelings...and hence sometimes i do have to try and read between the lines to know what they are conveying but here i relate to your poem completely your pain is clearly conveyed.
Yes it is indeed hard to come into terms with the fact that no one really wants to see your vulnerable side cause they are afraid to bed a bit into that deep abyss and help you out cause it might remind them of their pitfalls...it is terrible the facade we create for ourselves we have to show we are okay even if deep within we are in a crumbled mess.

hm.. i like being alone.. i think that if you get used to it.. be becomes part of you.. you are free to think what you would like to think, do what you will like to do.. alone.. maybe it is because i am surrounded by tention and people everyday.. but lonelness can be a good thing.. nicely written though, i get your point..
