you see no mark upon my skin
you see no tear in my eye
you see no sign of pain
therefor I must not be in pain

I must not cry myself
to sleep at night
or wake up screaming
because of haunted dreams
I must not pull the blade
across my skin
and hope that one day
it drives in deeper
I must not fear the darkness
or shudder at the thought of silence
I must not hide myself from
life and prying eyes that
judge your worth as a person
upon the shine of your smile

you hear no gasp escape my mouth
you hear no horror tale from my past
you hear no words of pain
therefor I must not be in pain

I must not scream so loud it's silent
or throw things against my
bedroom walls
I must not kick and scream
and punch things that no one else can see
I must not drown myself
in the brown bagged bottle
in the hopes that i will forget
or tie the rope around my neck
and pray i find the courage to
pull it tighter


you don't see or hear my pain
therefor you think i feel no pain
you see what I choose for you to see
you hear what I choose for you to hear
you know not what he did to me
you know not what she did to me
you know not what you did to me
you know not the pain I feel
you know only what I want you to know
but just because you do not see or hear it
does not mean that the pain is not there
locked away inside of me, where it will always be

this is really not that good....i'm just venting now.............In the first 6 years of my life I went through things that would make you want to throw up(they still make me throw up)....I am dead inside because of the things I have seen and heard....and it is for this reason that I refuse to let people see or hear my pain........I have always had people tell that it is amazing that i don't feel any pain because of these things.....that it would have killed them if they went through it......that i am so "normal" and "well adjusted" (gggrrrr.....words used by fashion zombies, sheep and polititions)........the asume that there is no pain there because it is not seen or heard.....out of sight out of mind....truer now then ever.........and yeah i was just venting about that....every so often i need to vent......no matter how bad my ramblings are

I've been going through some rough things the last few years. I've been diagnosed with major depression, social anxiety disorder, and insomnia. I've been hospitalized twice in the last two years and have attempted suicide recently. Now it seems like I have bipolar disorder. I'm in a lot of pain and this describes it perfectly. I can't even imagine what you have been through. I'm sorry.

I am sorry you are going through such a rough time. I know what its like. And if you need a friend who understands feel free to message me. Also I know it sounds like the same crap everyone sprouts at you, but having been where you are more then a few times, I can tell you that there are moments in life that make all the rest of the crap worth it. It's just a matter of gritting your teeth long enough to experience them. But I am here if you want to talk, and if not, that's fine too and I am glad my ranting helped put a description to your feelings.

Venting is good. As i shall vent now. Pain is nothing but an expression. It hides true feelings of hurt and lost. But when you lose the ability to feel it.. you miss it. You miss knowing you are alive.

I lack the control at times but then they took my tools now it's all I can do to not want the knife. (random Idea I'm thinking to try to write about) p.s. I like your writing

I get that feeling all the time, people think they know you just by how you look on the outside. if some people just took the time to look on the inside, they wouldnt last long.

I know how that feels... Everyone thinks your fine because you look fine or act fine. But people only look skin deep. No one sees internal scars because they don't take the time to look. And when they find out that they are there, they act super shocked.

This is exactly how I feel. :(
I've had such horrid things happen to me and I've managed to hide it for like 4 years.
And everyone thinks I'm completely and utterly happy.
Anyway, I can totally relate to the feeling and I'm glad that I fav'd it!
