she lay still

sobs inside

smiles outside

she holds it together

not for honor

not for pride

but for love

she cant and wont

she could never

put herself in pain

for it would only

hurt her friends

AN: this poem is just something I was thinking about, hiding your pain, and I wrote my thoughts down. I guess this could also be used as an anti-cutting or anti-suicide poem, It reminds you that people can care, even if they are too embarrassed to share their feelings aloud
