I blink back
Painful tears
That I've held
Underneath for so long.
I suck in
Shallow breaths,
Letting them out slowly.
I pretend that
The people beside me
Are nowhere near.
They're in a place
Where they can't hear
The sobs;
The crashing
Of my tears
On the hardwood floor.
The bang of my knees
As they hit hard on the ground.
But there they are.
Standing above me,
Putting on a facade
Of fake sympathy,
But I can tell.
They don't see the
Darts hitting my mind.
The blood that drips
From my hidden heart.
They're blissfully blind.

The author's comments:
Sometimes girls(and boys too) have emotions that they'd rather have hidden from onlooking eyes. This is a poem about a girl who attempts to do so, but at one point gives in, no matter who is watching. Or if they care.

You can never truly appreciate what&#039;s good in life until you have experienced what&#039;s bad.
