Broken And In Pain Poem by ESPN CHICK

Looking above at the sky
Seeing all the pretty stars as they glow in the middle of the night
Wondering if I will ever escape this pain
This pain that I hold dear inside of me

I can't get rid of it no matter how hard I try
Nothing will ever make this pain go away
I will never be whole as long as I'm still breathing

Broken from the inside out
No one ever notices how bad I'm hurting
How bad I'm bleeding on the inside from this pain
I'm shattered like broken glass

There's tears behind my eyes that's waiting to fall during the night
And when I wake up I cover up in the mirror because I hate what I see
I know I'm never gonna be good enough

Every tear I shed is worthless
I know I will never be whole
I will be broken like this forever
Wearing broken smiles everyday and no one can tell

How can I say I'm okay when I'm really not
It hurts even more but I know no one will ever understand
Here I am pretending my life away

I guess I will pretend I'm okay till the day I take my last breath
Nothing will ever satisfy me anyhow
Nothing will ever take this pain away from me
But I only wish that people wouldn't see through me
