Silent and Unseen
The world sees a smile on my lips
As I utter praises for all to hear
I blink back my tears
Making sure no one notices my pain
My heart shatters into a million pieces
Unnoticed by anyone
I keep my shaking hands at my side
Lest I give away my thoughts
Holding my head high
I go through the motions
Those expected of me
I dare not fall into the blackness
That is surrounding me
I keep it all inside
Silent and unseen by the world
Crawling back into my haven
I shut everything out
