Sometimes you don't realize your own strength.

Nobody Knows

© Emily

Nobody knows how different I am

The outside of me is not afraid

Not full of pain, or even ashamed

I smile and all of those ignorant fools believe

Of course nothing could be wrong with me

My eyes are dry, I do not shed tears

For that gift was taken away from me dear

I laugh and talk and play along

Keep on existing as if nothing's wrong

Nobody knows how different I am

The inside of me is hollow and empty

Do not fret my dear, for I do not want your pity

I'm tattered and broken beyond repair

My heart is crumbling and full of despair

I'm bloodied and beaten and not really living

I just go through the motions and continue existing

I'm scared and lost, clueless as can be

Is there no one out there to help me

Nobody knows how different I am

And that will never change
