YOU CAN'T SEE

Image
 You can't see me walking on the tightrope of life Every slip costs me pain, sometimes a heartbreak, You can't see how I smile the widest while I die Little by little my soul chips away in agony, You can't see me crawling to survive every moment Having a broken shelter etched deep scars within me You can't see me being afraid to live another day Trembling about the addition of misery it would bring. You can't see how greedily I reach towards the rays of light Where everything is darker than night, I only see an abyss, You can't see how I have to mimic abundance Even if I am in a famine of cracked earth & blazing sun, You can't hear my bones creaking with my responsibilities, Like they don't see I am bleeding, unless I am dead.
