Truly, deeply.

you don't know how deep my pain goes 
because i don't carry it on my back.
because i don't show it on my face.
because i don't cry out for help in the streets. 
because of my calm demeanor.
because of the fight in me.
because of the light in me.
because of my hyper individuality that was imposed onto me
caused by deep betrayal from the ones who declared to love me the most. 
so now wires and connections are crossed 
& pardon me if sometimes i get lost. 

oh, one thing is for certain, 
you will never know how deep my pain goes, 
because nothing is ever what it seems. 
Like when nightmares pose as sweet dreams. 
when the silence starts to scream, 
it's the dryest eyes that weep. 
it's the promises they never keep. 
it's never knowing truly how deep.                                       © trulysincerelyy
