You smile yet you're broken,
and you feel like giving in.
Sometimes you want to tell them,
but you'll never let them win.

They don't know their words cut you,
More so than any blade.
You cover the scars with layers,
For they'll never truly fade.

You always want to complain,
and hurt them just the same.
No matter how many times they say it,
You know you're not to blame.

They never seem to notice,
How much they're hurting you.
Even though you give them hints,
They still don't have a clue.

Why do they always do this?
That's the question that you ask,
and when there comes no answer,
You replace your happy mask.
I wrote this after I found out that I hadn't won the closure contest. I was just in a sad, emotional poetry mood. When in doubt, turn your emotions into art, yes? :)
