There is a deep Void within me.
It's darker than the darkest night.
It is so large I doubt it can be healed,
And it hurts so badly I scream.
No one can hear me.
I put on a mask to hid it,
When someone gets a glimpse of it I say
I'm fine, but I know that I'm not.
I don't know what's worse, when they believe me
or when they push.
I want them to know
but at the same time
I'm afraid of what would happen if they knew.
If they knew that every day
I want to cause myself pain.
But I don't do it because then they would know.
Would they try to help me?
Would they say it's nothing to worry about?
Would they be disgusted that I have these thoughts?
There is a deep void within me.
It's darker than the darkest night.
It is so large I doubt it can be healed,
And it hurts so badly I scream.
No one can hear me.
There is a deep void within me. It's darker than the darkest night.....it hurts... living in such doubt, suffering......... i think prayer and nearness to God heals such dark state of the mind..... i am praying for u too...... thank you dear poet. tony

Loss of sunshine in a life at its deplorable lowest ebb is aptly captured in the poem. Deep feelings of sadness and anxiety written with clarity of thought and mind. Faith Keeps Those That Keep The Faith - Mother Teresa. Thanks for sharing Cassandra.
