On the inside

Alfred Gremsly

Rhymed
Just because you can see me,
  doesn't mean I'm not hiding
And just because I'm not screaming,
  doesn't mean I'm not crying
Just because I'm not bleeding,
  doesn't mean I'm not hurting
And just because I'm still breathing,
  doesn't mean I'm not dying.....
                        
                           " on the inside "
