The Smiles Hid The Tears

All the emotional abuse
I was put down for years
Always doubting myself
The smiles hid the tears

Never having confidence
It was what I had to bare
I felt worthless and used
They never seem to care


The hurt I had felt inside
I was made to feel small
It was as I began writing
Those years I still recall

Knowing without a doubt
They were wrong not me
Emotional scars this left
I think how it used to be

That feeling remains
sometimes deeply buried sometimes at the surface but once its there its hard to ever erase, though writing through it brings it out of the closet into the light

Thank you so much for your understanding reply  , yes emotional scars are hidden deep for years , I did not begin writing until late in life , it helps to be able to write about it now

It's always good getting it out, on paper for example!
Sad write dearest Hope!
