Nobody Knows

by WritingtheStars   Jul 7, 2012


There's this girl
Everyone thinks she is happy,
Hyper and
Insane.
Truth be told,
She is empty.
She cannot feel anything.
She can barely remember how to smile.
She needs help
But doesn't know how to ask.
Few people know her name,
Even fewer know her story,
Nobody knows how empty she is.
She is wonderful at faking happiness
Because she's been do it for so long.
Doesn't anyone notice this poor girl's struggles?
Everyday plastered on her face,
Is a fake smile.
Everyday she forces laughter,
Nobody notices how fake it is.
Everyday she goes home
And cries herself to sleep.
Nobody knows.
Nobody cares enough to notice.
Are people really that blind?
They don't see the sadness
Or pain in her eyes.
Or the scars on her arm.
They don't see tears she's hiding
Behind her smiles.
Or the sobs
Behind her jokes.
Nobody sees her.
Nobody knows her.

    I can feel that way too. I used to be like that when I was younger. And know it comes to my realization that it was only in our minds, that we are feeling empty and feels like nobody cares. We are the first who is responsible for our feelings, no one would truly understand us as we understand ourselves. However it also depends on how we want our life to be. Trust in God above and He will give you strength to faced those trials in life. I knew a lot of us keep blaming others and ourselves also when something happen bad to us. A lot of people asking "If there is God? Then why a lot of people suffering?" Well, it depends on what we've done before, if you're successful it is because of you're sacrifices you've done. And if you're not, ask yourself what makes you not achieved it? I've realized that we are having differences to realize how lucky are we to other people because not all people can have the chance of having what we have now. Hey, I know I'm taking it too long. But I hope it helps.

    I absolutely love this piece. It reminds me so much of myself its... scary. Although it's hauntingly written there's one little grammatical mistake.

    In the line "because she's been do it so long"
    I think you mean to say "because she's been doing it so long"

    Other than that one tiny little error its flawless. I love it, took my breath away and left tears in my eyes.
