You see me smile
And never guess
What goes on
Inside my head.
The gloom, the fear,
The bursting clouds.
The deafening thunder,
The lonely ghosts.
I walk through life
Like any other.
You see me smile,
Think we are alike.
But my torn soul,
It hides a secret.
Each step I take
Is a labour of love.
Each laugh, each day
Is coated in loss.
It all started so long ago,
I have forgotten
What normal is.
You see me smile
And think I'm lucky.
I have it all.
Do not call me ungrateful.
I love my life,
Even if I have to tear at my insides
To be a woman,
Or just to
Go on.
Holding all this rain
Inside my head.
