Pain Amongst A Lonely Soul

She has everything that anyone could want
But only from the outside view
No one would ever want to own the feelings
That she has buried down deep inside
She’s tried not to think of such horrible thoughts
Believe me, oh she has tried.

No one truly knows how she feels
Many don’t know she’s contemplated life
Because living for her is way too hard.

Others pay her out, call her hurtful names
They know too well the harm it causes
Deep down inside they feel just the same.

If she says she’s not okay
Then to her, she’s not okay
Only she can feel her pain.
