What they don't see

What they don't see…….

They say
You are so strong

They see
me doing what I have to for my family

They see
me put on a brave face

They don't see
how many tears I cry

They don't see
me fall apart daily

They don't see
the terror in my heart

They don't see
how much my life has changed

They don't see
how this has changed me

They don't see
the loneliness that I feel

They don't see
how their avoidance hurts me

They don't see
fear in their children's eyes

They don't see
because their life is still intact

They don't see
because they still don't appreciate what they have

They don't see
how scared I am

They don't see
because they don't look

They don't see
because they don't want to see

They don't see
because they don't ask

They don't see
how much it hurts me
That they don't see
