Born With Pain Poem by ESPN CHICK

Trying forget the past
But thats hard to do
Cause everywhere I go
Something reminds me of it

Can't help the way that I feel
It just happened that I'm filled with pain and sadness
I was born with it
Born brokenhearted

I've been shattered like broken glass through the years
Tried to pick up the pieces as I go
But thats hard to do
Wishing that I didn't have the feelings that I do

But there stuck inside me
And I can't rid them
I've tried over and over again
But they keep coming back

Wishing I had something be happy about
Someone here beside me
Believing in me holding me
But instead I have this painful life filled with disaster

Every step that I take
I dread knowing that I have pain from head to toe
And I try not to let it show
So I put on my fake smile and cover up my face in the mirror

Covering up those lies
Those painful lies
That I hear each and everyday
Knowing that the voices won't go away

And I every now and then
I cry my self to sleep at night
Sometimes that is my lullaby
And I'm fast to sleep not caring about anything

How I want to be whole once again
That would be great
But never in a million years
Will you ever see a smile thats not fake on my face
