Nobody Knows

by Jenni Marie   May 18, 2007


Smiling each and every day
Hiding the pain within
Sorrow clawing at her soul
Surely, this must be a sin?

Fake laughter escaping her lips
Yet crying silently inside
Going about life expressing joy
When all she wants to do is hide.

Every second feeling like a chore
Wanting the turmoil to end
Spending her waking moments
Wishing her broken heart to mend.

Looking so happy and bright
Like she hasn't a care in the world
Everyone else wanting to be her
No idea inside she's a lonely girl.

Torment taking over her soul
Yet it never shows
Filled with woe and confusion
And yet nobody knows

    "Torment taking over her soul

    Such a sad ending.. from experience i know what bottling up feelings can do to a persons mind..
    You've portrayed that so well
    5/5

    I really like this poem. To me this shows strength....a deeper beauty within. Strength to carry on day by day with a smile on your face even though you're broken up inside and a deep beauty from within to still spread that smile and joy to others. Great job!!
