Hiding underneath

I have experienced it all my life,
But it still remains something I can't accept.
It's anticipation hurts like wounds from a knife,
For killing, it is adept.

If only I could express,
the extent of pain I've felt.
But words fall short when I try, 
Why do you only understand when I cry? 

Everytime, you manage to take away a part of me,
Until all that's left, is nothing.
I won't let these tears fall,
The world might think I'm not strong. 

I shall do as they say,
With a smile plastered upon my face,
It's a smile that won't reach my eyes,
Your ears won't catch up on my silent cries. 

Castles in the air I built,
Hoping to save the person you once killed. 
Sucked my soul in one gulp,
Expecto patronum, it just didn't work. 

I've fallen into a pit, 
Deeper than tartaurus it is. 

No matter what I do.
I just can't escape. 
It is something that dwells inside of me, 
It is something to be feared. 

The reason for my insomnia, 
It lies underneath. 
Also the cause of my hysteria, 
It lives under my skin.
