    Nothing's Wrong

     "What's wrong?"
    They ask
    As the tears fill my eyes
    "Nothing"
    My parents are together
    My family is healthy
    No one has died
    So nothing in my world seems wrong
    But they don't understand
    The pain inside
    Sadness
    Confusion
    The horror of not knowing
     Who I really am inside
    Frustration, not visible to the outside world
    "We can't help you unless you tell us"
    Sadly, your help doesn't reach me
    You only criticize my feelings
    Increasing the inner pain
    "Nothing's wrong."
    Ha. Ha.
    What a lie...

    This is so on point. You capture the essence of inner pain, something that you correctly identify as not necessarily having an outer cause, but is so easily stirred up by others' poking and prodding. Please keep writing. :)

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
