I died so many times, you never noticed.

I sounded like a mad woman
Screaming at the top of my lungs,
With tears burning down my face.

No one turned to look at me,
While I ripped my heart out
Crying and begging
For the pain to stop.

I spent everyday
In insurmountable grief
Losing myself
In this battle
So discrete.

I wish you had noticed
My silent suffering,
And my overwhelming torment.

But I realized
You couldn't hear me screaming.
My screams
were trapped in my head.

The lump that formed in my throat,
Were my cries for help
being contained,
Aching to be free.

No one had turned to look at me,
you didn't notice me
my outward appearance
Was misleading.

I was being praised
For my bright smile,
While you,
Nor anyone
Noticed how the light
In my eyes died out
Long ago.

I died,
I died
I died
I died
And I died
So many times,
Every single day.

I should be mourned
But I'm afraid
of becoming a burden.

So I hid behind this smile
To prevent from losing
All insanity.

I was afraid of you seeing
What a mess I had become.

But it's too late
For the mess
Had finally overcome.
