about someone who lives hiding her pain


silent tears

A silent tear runs down her cheek
when happiness she loses,
But she cannot let it show
how deeply the loss cuts her soul
so she holds it tightly in
lest anyone should see it
and make a mockery of her pain.
for who could understand
that a loss of something so small
could have an impact so big?
so she lives her life
with silent tears,
streaming down her cheek

There is sadness in all of us,but borne in silence the pain is greater.
