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......

A sad, yet beautiful poem. Well written, I liked it.

I thought it was pretty sweet. It captures the spirit of disconnect and solace very well...almost creating a character out of the melancholic mood itself...cool beans..

Check me out and tell me what u think

This is so true, which is sad. I love this - it's really good and it speaks the truth. I enjoyed reading it. :)

Have a feeling this is about something I don't understand ' cutting ' not because I am judgemental because in fact I am certified mental and even in my darkest nights have never choosen pain over pain. The poem itself though is beautifully done and some great dark images, and the sense of lonliness is evident and is a thing that damns us to the inner self the need to be hidden forming a vicious cycle one from which many find it hard to break free. Keep em' coming ( still wanna be friends ? )

We hide our pain whether to protect ourselfs or others. It's a shame we have to...when other people around us are doing the same. But it's human. Sometimes, we want to deal with things on our own. I can relate to this very well. You did a great job.

This is a really great piece. It's an unfortunate thing that we must hide our true feelings but it's what we have to do. Our pain is our own and we hide it to protect ourselves.
