Because the scars do not show
And I don't tell you all I know
Because I'm good at pack and stow
The pain remains unspoken

Because my silence seems consent
And I don't sing a loud lament
My troubles seethe but then foment
When promises are broken

Because I'm grievous when with you
And the hurt you put me through
Because my heart is pure and true
The pain remains unspoken

Because I say nothing in word
For when I speak; you've never heard
Because I'm trapped, just like a bird
I'll accept any small token

Because I'm silent as a lamb
Would hurt myself to save your plan
Because that's me, the way I am
The pain remains unspoken

But I can't live this way, too long
I can't be ever mute and strong
Maybe you'll have to move along
When I at last have woken.

The great pains of life often remain as such, unspoken and maddening.

Oh hon, I hate to see the ongoing trials you have to bear at present, all I can say is *love and hugs* and you can call or email whenever you need to. You know that!

Oh Girl~ I know the road seems long and the darkness never ending, but hold on tight to your hopes and wants. One small step daily is all you need, and we all know you can do it.

Hugs to you,

All I know is that pain is a message to us and it needs to be expressed and acted upon...James

Thanks everyone,

James if I acted upon and expressed my pain in the way that I cope best, I'd be banned from these fine blue pages.

I truly believe that this is one of the best poems I have ever read. It makes me think so much about how things are for me right now and the way you describe the treatment of yourself by yourself is simply stunning. Thank you so much for the great poem. I hope to read some more of your works if they are of a quality such as this.

I've lived in your words for some time now and so I not only understand, but I have the hope that tomorrow will be a better day. You express your feelings well and that is the first step to healing. Always listen to your heart..   Kate

Why is it so hard to talk about this?  (Rhetorical question)  I haven't the answer.  But it does make for good poetry.
I like this Kethry.  Well done, girl.

This is truly a superb poem. I just wish I could write like this.

You have a gift, and I beg you, please share it with us.

Come to me
Kill for me
Worship me.
Follow everthing I do
Act it out before me
