Bruised

She pulls her hair,
and bites her lip,
Taking a breath,
She silently screams.

She looks around,
and sees the faces,
All the frowns,
and mean looks,
head straight her way.

One wrong word,
and everyone laughs,
while other times,
they all feel hurt.

Inside her cold body,
her heart is bruised,
all of her feelings,
begin to pour.

Her eyeliner smears,
her mascara runs,
finally the time,
when all the tears come.

Too many years,
she stored it away,
When times she hurt the most,
she'd smile anyways..

She always used to laugh,
To everyone she was perfect,
But deep down inside,
everyday she hurt.

The only ones she loved,
and lived for each day,
were always the ones,
who made her feel this way.

Sometimes she'd rather die,
Then feel it every day,
but someone always comes,
and pushes the feelings away.

She'd rather stay alive,
to see the life that comes,
but the deep hurt feelings,
let her bleed on the inside.
