Nobody Knows


They do not see what I feel inside

But they see the smile that I can not hide

Day after day I please their needs 

But I am never questioned about what I need

What did I do

To deserve what I have been through 

I could cry silent tears behind the confines of the shower

But I chose to hold in all the fire

The pain I feel 

Is what made me stronger

The day I rise above I will conquere 

All that I achieved will shine 

All because nobody ever knew 

All that I went thorugh
