I don't want to talk about it.
I don't want you to see,
I'll explain in a minute
but for now
happy
I'll pretend to be.
I've told you too much
If I tell you any more
you'll be crushed
I'm sorry
I'm keeping you in the dark because
I think it's safe to say
I don't know
myself
plus
the light switch is broken.
I know you'll do anything
you'll cross the ocean just for
me
I can't ask you to do that so
Forget it.
Stabbed from the inside
a wrenching, horrible emptiness fills me
but all you'll ever see
Is how happy I can pretend to be.
My mind is swirling
My world is spinning
But it doesn't concern you.
Forget it.
It hurts a lot
trust me, it does
to keep this from you
but I have to.
I wish I could tell you
really, I do
but I just can't bring myself to.
Forget it.
The world keeps on going-
It won't stop for me
so neither should you
because you don't have a clue.
I don't need anyone's help
I have to learn to survive
by myself
You'll never see me cry.
If you knew you'd try to fix it
but
you
can't
so just
forget it

A very deep and insightful poem. Well penned.5 Stars..... but sometimes you have to let people in for things to change since talking and writing in codes are not the long term solutions....
Agreed - that's why I wrote this. It's the struggle with yourself trying to tell them but not wanting to share your burden with them.
