How Long?

I sit by myself
Crying my eyes out
Dieing

I have not been hurt
No bumps or bruises
At least, not on the outside

The thing that is killing me
Is not ever seen
But felt

The pain is emense
It is tearing me apart inside
'Till I am an empty shell

Secrets and emotions swirl around inside
They claw at my soul, ripping it
Like an unseen beast

I try to put on an untouched mask
Of happiness and hope
But it is untrue, I am scarred

For nothing hurts worse
Than something you weren't supposed to hear
But you heard it anyway

And still I live on
The pain hasn't won yet, but here is the question
How long can I go on like this?

I definately know what you're getting at.... Good job. :)
