Concealed Emotions

I try to conceal scenes from my past that make me have this melancholy feeling,

The scenes that cause me to break down,

With tears running from my eyes like a well that has over flown,

But even with the tears flowing,

My heart is still full of grief, pain and regrets.

I manage to smile despite of all the internal problems I face each day,

But,

Secretly I cry so much that I get exhausted,

And other times I pray,

Sometimes I cry myself to sleep,

Silently drowning in my own tears,

Trying so hard not to make a sound that my chest aches,

I am crippled by pain that affects me emotionally.

But even if I cry out no one will hear my cry,

Or if they do they won't save me,

It's more like them turning a deaf ear,

I am but a young lady,

Who was in need of care and protection,

But instead I was left in the open,

Prone to pedophiles, perverts and vultures,

Men who enjoy hurting children.

Me?

I was just an outcast,

Nobody's business,

But no one knows because I concealed these emotions.
