Open Wound

Folder: 
Friends

I look down at the open wound



that seems to keep opening up



why wont it heal?



its been so many years



ive tried everything



but it just wont disapear



it just keeps growing bigger



with every harsh word



with every malicious glare



with every judgemental look



with everyone thinking im ok



why cant they see?



its devouring me



theyve been around me for years



cant they see the pain



am i that good an acctress?



they call themselves friends



talk about there other friends that are depressed



friends they have know years less then me



yet they can not see the pain im in



im trying to hide it but



at the same time hoping they will find it



but no they keep going on as if nothings happened



they watch as i withdraw they think im just becoming lazy



i go visit every now and then but i cant stand pretending



to be happy when im not.
