Hidden Tears
Tears are the words we want to say,
But can't be spoken, they are the
Pain we feel when, in a moment,
Everything changes. . .
They say invisible tears are
The hardest to wipe away, take
The longest to go away, and
Are hidden from the rest of the
World to see.
We put on a happy face to
Hide the pain we feel, but when we
Are alone, tears are shed and it's
Like the floodgates are breaking loose-
A breakdown.
It's like our goal in life is to
Cover the pain we feel and blend
In with everyone around us.
People live their lives pretending
To be happy.
We are like actors with masks on
During the day. We take them off
When we are alone at nighttime.
Then the memories of the pain
Return to us.
Memories of past mistakes and
Regrets, pain from relationships,
Lost loved ones, words that should have been
Said, hurtful words said by others. . .
These are the things we hide.
To please those around us, we seem
Happy and put together. It's
Like an unspoken rule; everyone
Has to be happy all the time.
But the people who seem the happiest
Are the ones who are hurting the most.
Tears are the words we want to say,
But can't be spoken, they are the
Pain we feel when, in a moment,
Everything changes.
They are hidden from the rest of
The world to see.
They come from the heart.
