Something I Don't Want to Share

A lonely girl gazes out the window lost in thought under a muted sky. - Luvv It

There’s a pain I keep inside,

A hurt I’ve learned to always hide.

I’ve cried alone so many nights,

Fought my battles without light.

All my life, I cared so much,

Put others first, gave love and such.

No one asked if I was okay,

They just took, then walked away.

I stayed quiet, played my part,

Even when it broke my heart.

But the day I chose to think of me,

They called me selfish, couldn’t see.

They didn’t know what I’d been through,

The things I hid, the things I knew.

They didn’t hear my silent screams,

Or how I gave up on my dreams.

Now I smile, but it’s not real,

There’s so much I still feel.

But I keep it locked with extra care

Because it’s something I don’t want to share. Poem By Zindagi_Sona  Sonali Choudhary
