Hidden Pain
April 18, 2015
She holds up her wrists,
Shows the marks of sadness,
Promises not to do it again,
But the stares tug at her like a chain.
She lowers her head as faces pass by—
Soon enough her arms begin to cry.
Hollow words fill the air:
A new secret never to be shared.
Relief pulses her body
As her sleeves become bloody.
Will anyone ever understand?
Talking to anyone seems banned.
All she does is cry like a waif.
With no one does she feel Safe.
