Dying So Slowly

[Hidden face_Hurting heart]

dying so slowly
no one can see
the welts raised up
on the inside of me
hiding in the dark
shuddering with pain
if you turn on the lights
I'll be smiling again
masking all the hurt
you would never know
but I had to tell someone
before my pain could grow
wracking my spirit
sorrow stays unmoved
I thought it would be better
but my hopes have been disproved
wishing I could say
all my pain has fled
wanting to hide again
so you can't see my dread
knowing what could happen
it's so hard to see you care
I don't want you hurt
by the pain I shouldn't share

sounds like a lonely struggle.... i'm glad we have extensions of our Father's love in the form of fellowship.
