Pain
There really is pain inside.
Some of you will never see it,
It's gotten easier to hide.
I know you know it's there,
But if you asked, I would deny.
Please don't force it out of me,
That might tempt me to lie.
You will only push me farther
If you attempt to pull and pry.
I understand you care for me
But it will come out on its own time.
As for now all I care to say is
There really is pain inside.
