Internal Injuries
It's hard to feel the tears falling inside
When my heart cries no one can see the tears
It's impossible to hear the screams for help
Reverberating on the inside of me
Who would know of the internal damage
If I don't disclose or reveal my wounds
If someone's searching to rescue me
I hope they find me soon
While praying for an answer
Clinging desperately to hope
The loneliness drowns out the shrieks
Muffles the relentless whimpering within
When I open my mouth to express my pain
For some reason unable to speak
At times it's as though I'm free falling without a chute
How long before I hit, chances of survival minute
Will there be a net to catch me, break my fall
Anyone ever going to truly be there
Wearing a smile on the exterior, slowly dying inside
The high volume of anguish and misery I continue to hide
If my heart stopped beating, would anyone know
Will the cancer of life consume me before the cure
Can I survive the internal injuries, of that I'm unsure
When my heart cries no one can see the tears
It's impossible to hear the screams for help
Reverberating on the inside of me
Who would know of the internal damage
If I don't disclose or reveal my wounds
If someone's searching to rescue me
I hope they find me soon
While praying for an answer
Clinging desperately to hope
The loneliness drowns out the shrieks
Muffles the relentless whimpering within
When I open my mouth to express my pain
For some reason unable to speak
At times it's as though I'm free falling without a chute
How long before I hit, chances of survival minute
Will there be a net to catch me, break my fall
Anyone ever going to truly be there
Wearing a smile on the exterior, slowly dying inside
The high volume of anguish and misery I continue to hide
If my heart stopped beating, would anyone know
Will the cancer of life consume me before the cure
Can I survive the internal injuries, of that I'm unsure

Post a CommentBeautiful poem. I can truly relate to it.
Thank you so much, so many times we write down words that help us to express what we are feeling at that time but not knowing that those words will speak volumes to others in their lives. I was pointed to this poem by my mother and it helped me get a true grasp of how I am feeling right now and helped me to know that other go through. God Bless
Very Deeeeeeeeep. Who does know what hides behind ones smile. Pain can consume one's life and eat away like a cancer. This was a touch to the core. Thank you.
Wow! I think we all can relate to this. My very close friend often gets on me about when I'm going through somethin that I don't open up. I just figure eveyone has thier own things to deal with. I'm the type of person where as I love helping people. I do better helping than asking for help. "Oh yes I'm the great pretender pretending that I'm doing well." The Pretenders. Great write. thanks for sharing
Great poem that reminds us that you never know what someone is going through. Thanks for sharing.
