Invisible Pain

The tears flow
within my heart.
Bottled inside
my pain know stays.
Fate comes to keep
me crying these tears.
Why is it me with
the invisible pain?

They ask me how I feel, 
not expecting any answer.
I may answer, I may not.
They want to pretend to care.

If I answer with the truth
they just smile and nod.
If I answer with, "I'm fine,"
they smile and go their way.

There is no in between ground
where I can tell truth and lie
I am stuck with truth or lies.

No one sees the silent
tears that I cry inside.
How could they see them?
I always keep them
bottled within me.

No one cares about
the pain I felt.
The pain wallows
in my heart.
I keep it bottled within.
No one knows the pain
I feel.
