Hidden Pain

by PassionCourageTriumph   Nov 8, 2008


She sits all alone.
No one there.
Wanting to talk.
Wanting someone to care.

She went through life
One day at a time.
Always glowing with confidence,
Like everything was fine.

She was happy,
At least that's what she led others to believe.
In reality she hurt
But when she cried for help no one cared to see.

Others tore at her spirits,
Simply because they felt they could.
"Joke" around a little.
If only they understood.

She brought herself down
With hatred from within.
Always wanting to be the beautiful talented person
That her friends had always been.

She never wanted sympathy.
Just someone who understood,
How bad she wanted to laugh and love.
But everyone withstood.

It finally became too much.
She had no one.
Not a single person to listen,
No shoulder to cry on.

They found her in her room,
A year ago this day.
Hung by her own hands.
Because of her own dismay.

This girl who was happy,
Charitable, funny, and sweet.
Dead and gone now,
Her life never to complete.

People think about her,
Every now and again.
Wondering what would have happened
If they had put out a helping hand.

The problem with many
Is that they do not see.
The pain that is hidden
Behind a face that seems so happy.
