i let it down

I let it down

I hide my pain beneath,

When I feel like bursting I cry,

I protect my feeling underneath,

And when Ignored to assume I really try,

And when I speak and get ignored,

I really try hard to understand,

Although I prefer even a nod,

but if it never comes then I have to stand,

I really hate talking to a wall,

With my voice echoing all around,

Its more hurting to feel like shouting in a hall,

And feeling that loneliness from those you surround,

But what do you do when you have to lose,

What do you do when you can’t really let go?

Then you have to let tears down your nose,

And expect no comfort or so.
