2. Not Immune

68 27 19
                                    

I meet your eyes
Devoid of emotion
Of the raging storm inside me
You have no notion

You don't know I cried yesterday
Don't know that I screamed
In helplessness, in frustration
Emotions spilling over the brim.

Your words inside me
Are like a knife tearing up my gut
I shut my fears inside
Into a dark, forlorn hut.

I sucked in my tears
But couldn't suck in my pain
And every time you walk by me
It crashes like acid rain

I look you in the eye
Every time you are raving
You don't know my urge to scream
And the tears I am craving

You will never rise above hate
And over you I never cry
But when I say you don't hurt me
I know that I lie.
