Behind these guarded eyes

I feel like crying.
I just can't,
I have no more fight-
left within me,
to keep on trying.
so I fall
silent.

Nevermind everything
I have done -
for them because-
nothing could
ever please them .
I was always someone
they never needed-
always someone  they 
Never believed in.

Locked out and shushed,
keeping secrets.
Pretending to be alright
no-one ever taking,
the time to-
help me realise all
my demons. So-
they keep feeding
off my pleadings.
I countine to take
brutal beatings,
until I'm  broken
and bleeding.

They laugh at my
tears, I laugh too -
It only hurts if,
I show them. Stay
strong enough for them,
to leave then -
breakdown where no-
one can see.

I disappoint myself
for thinking, Maybe
someone can help
come save me,
or can I save me ?
