What Hurts The Most Poem by ESPN CHICK

Apparently you see right through me
Cause I've been lying all along
I'm not alright
I still feel pain every now and then

But what hurts the most is trying to survive
Trying to cover up and pretend I'm okay
Pretending not to be in pain

It hurts to pretend but for some reason I do it anyways
What hurts the most is wanting something so badly but always falling short of the goal
I should be immune to all the pain

The pain should be numb
But its not numb
And now I'm pretending to be alright even though I'm not

But what hurts the most is wanting to be loved and there's no one around to love you
Always searching but just can never find the one
Pretending not to care but deep down I do care
And behind my eyes lies nothing but loneliness

Nothing but broken dreams lye behind my eyes
What hurts the most is waking up knowing that you're still in pain and that you are still partly shattered
But no one knows only I know the way I feel and forever I will pretend to be okay even though it hurts to pretend

What hurts the most is seeing everyone around having fun
When inside you're hurting badly
And what hurts the most is trying to tell yourself that you're fine cause you know deep down you're ready to just give up
