Why?

Why does everyone hate me?
    Why does everyone laugh at my pain?
Can't they see that all this time I've been suffering?
    I hide behind a mask of cheer
But sometimes, when I am alone,
    I take my mask off.
No one can see my anguish but me...
    Nobody would care, so why does it matter?
I try to act dumb and carefree,
    But inside the pain is almost unbearable.
I feel so sick of having no one;
    No one that cares about me or loves me.
Why do I have to go through with this torture?
    Why must I endure these hardships?
My heart has been broken by thoughtless, insensitive words;
    Words that wouldn't seem like much,
But when you hear those words all the time,
    It's like a stab straight through the heart.
Why am I so unloved?
    Why doesn't anyone care?
Am I really such an insignificant being?
    Is there nobody to help ease my pain?
The pain dwelling inside my caged heart...
