Hidden

No more tears fall from these eyes
Even with so many reasons to cry.
A blow to the head if I try
To let tears fall from my eyes
No emotion they tell me
No one can see
My pain my torture my misery
Otherwise I'll be a weakling.
Don't be weak.
But it's hard to hear the words they speak
As I am getting beat
For crying for being weak.
So I paste this smile on today
And you see the warrior that was made.
You will never see me in a disarray
For I learned how to obey.
My smile is all you will ever see
While inside my heart screams
A sorrowful silent plea
That no one will ever hear but me.
I can not let you in
I can not let anyone in
I am locked within
But you must never get in.
