True Pain
I had known pain before
My tears had fallen once before.
I had hoped they would never know
That they would never learn.
Learn of the torment, the agony, the anguish
That I have endured.
Of the shame, the remorse, the guilt
That I have felt.
I had buried it, hidden it away,
Where no one could find it.
But it was all in vain
For it resurfaced anyway.
Now they all know,
Know of my secret.
And as I look into their eyes,
I realize I had never known.
Had never know what true pain was
And again my tears fall.
