Fears. Pain. Truth.


Some people yell and scream

while others inflict pain upon themselves.

Nobody ever knows the truth of their

Fear.

 

Some people cry alone

while others will just pretend to be happy.

Nobody sees they're both hiding

Pain.

 

The world is quick to judge

and quick to spread rumors like fire

All without realizing they are missing the

Truth.
