The Girl That Nobody Knows

This poem is really powerful and it struck a chord with me. It's true in many cases that the saddest people around us are the ones you would least suspect, because they hide their pain so well. Nobody else knows of the sheer agony some suffer daily, hidden behind a smile. This poem reveals a window into a life that is true for one too many humans and teens in this world.

Pain is a tiring thing and it kills people. I have wanted to kill myself before because I could not handle anything anymore. Being sexually harassed by somebody I loved was painful. But if that ever happens to you, tell somebody; don't stay quiet. I learned from that, and I am currently 11-years-old and know too much for my age.

I'm known as the silent but deadly one in my family. I keep all my feelings on the inside, hidden from everyone else behind a smile or a glare and no one knows the real pain I go through each day. They really say it's just a phase and that I just need to get over it but how can I when I hate myself on the inside? When I can't control the emotions I am hiding?

This story fits me well I always hide behind a fake smile always try and hide my pain from people. Cry myself to sleep at night and just let everyone think I'm okay when I'm really not.

I know how you feel I wanted to die so many times just because my voice wasn't being heard from anyone.

This explains me so much. This is my life I hide behind a big fake smile but cry myself to sleep at night. This was so touching to me.
