Moving On

Just smile and stay strong.
They never need to know,
The pain you feel everyday
Smile. Breath. Move on.

Acting is second nature.
That’s just how it should be,
No one will know just how you feel
Smile. Breath. Move on.

Pain is there for everyone.
It’s not the same though,
The pain of that intrusion
Smile. Breath. Move on.

Intrusion of that one thing
No one understands it.
Unless they’ve been through it
Smile. Breath. Move on.

Thoughts of suicide,
Knives, guns, pills, nooses.
No one knows the weight you carry.
Smile. Breath. Move on.

The hurt was there,
Head to toe no where to go.
Trapped body on body.
Smile. Breath. Move on.

No one suspects
He hurt you that way.
No one thinks it could’ve been him.
Smile. Breath. Move on.

Your name carries a whole new meaning.
No one will no.
Don’t worry you don’t show.
Smile. Breath. Move on.

All you can do is
Pretend, hold true to you
Smile and stay strong.
Breath and move on.
