A Letter to Those That Want to Understand
The empty smiles we put on every morning
Like a mask, we are forced to wear it.
Nobody understands the tears
That lie behind our smiles
Or the laugher that rings
To hide our sobs.
How can anyone comprehend?
The pain we endure everyday
Is like a never ending chasm
That sucks us in as the clock ticks on.
You say you want to understand
You want to help and save us?
How can you save someone-
That doesn’t need saving?
You say we are selfish
But how selfless are you?
Can you tell we’re hurting?
Can you see the torment we feel in our souls?
Who are you to judge us for our choices
When you weren’t even there to notice us
Until we were long gone?
