The Hidden Pain

Published by Family Friend Poems September 2018 with permission of the Author.

The me you see is not the real me.
This isn't who I wish to be.
I hide the pain, I hide the strife.

But yet you say you love and you care.

Still wondering when my voice will be heard.
You keep saying that I'm selfish, dumb, and cruel,
But can't you see that I will never let you win this duel.

Now there's just one more thing that I want you to know,
And it is that I will never let my sorrow show.
