Hidden Pain
Hearts that cry with tears never seen
Arms that bleed, covered up by sleeves
Bruises behind a painted smile
Lies of unworthiness treated as truth
Nobody sees, nobody knows
But on the inside, pain overwhelms
Why don’t we notice?
We only know how they feel, once it’s too late
If only we paid more attention
If only we loved a little better
Some say it’s their choice
But so what if it is
I will choose to love and look inside
To hug them tight, forcing the pain outside
To show them they’re loved
Hoping they hold that tight
