No one understands this pain I feel

They all think they know I'm lying

And would they believe

If I said I was dying?

No I don't think they would

They glare at me again

They'd say to tell the truth I never could

And go on mocking me the same

And would they care

If I end up dying?

No, it's not fair

For all those tears I've spilled, crying

And what about you?

Would you understand

Would you believe the truth?

Or would you slap away my outstretched hands?

Trusting no one

I try to forget

I go on crawling

And spilling my red regret

Yet as I cry out

No one can hear

No matter how loud I shout

They seem to pretend I am not there

Perhaps it would be easier to die

But for some reason, I can't let that occur

For some reason I have to survive

Just like the day before

For I can die at any time

But living takes true courage

Yes, I have to live my life

My heart stronger I must forge

So I go on living

Locked within myself

Maybe someday I'll find a healing

And let go of this past hell

And my emotions locked away

I wander between two worlds

No one knows of my past days

And so my heart remains so cold

A/N: This poem is about his childhood and the pain still remains with him as he grows older. I'm not trying to make him sound weak, don't think that for a moment. I may be exaggerating a little but you never know about the pain he was going through when he was younger. I'm just trying to picture his anguish at a young age, carrying on to the days when he was older.
