I Wish They Knew

I wish they knew

Me and only the real me

Not the me with friends

Not the me with family

I wish they knew

How much pain they cause me

Every comment and remark

A knife into the heart

I wish they knew

How I go to bed each night

Crying and unable to sleep

But still pretending for their sake

I wish they knew

The amount of thoughts

Running around my head

Killing me inside out

But they don't know

How much it hurts

What it feels like

And that’s the thing that hurts the most...
