Do you know how I feel?
With wounds so deep they won't heal,
My heart beats but it's still numb,
Like the silence before a drum.
I fake a smile, try to hide,
The tears and pain that swirl inside,
But it's hard to keep pretending,
When my soul feels like it's ending.
Will you listen to my plea,
And try to understand me,
Or will you judge and turn away,
Leaving me alone to sway.
I need your empathy,
To help me be free,
To open up and finally heal,
And to show you how I really feel.
So let's start a conversation,
Filled with honesty and true emotion,
And maybe we can both reveal,
What it means to truly feel.
