I walk Alone
(Author unknown)
On the outside
I look fine
I seem fine
I feel pretty good
I have a positive attitude...
Inside, alone, I carry dark and heavy thoughts--
repressing memories of abuse
fleeting thoughts of suicide.
Words cannot convey,
the feelings, the pain
I ignore them--
for a while, perhaps--
a long while, all day, many days--
figure it will go away -- ignore
It's automatically not even recognized mentally.
Forcing myself day to day, week to week,
contact with people and life
My sorrow hidden,
My anguish contained
I push forward;
I feel like dying.
I tell no one.
I carry my feelings alone.
