My Busy Friend

Listen!

Can you hear me?

I am screaming for help

I am welling up

With the pain inside,

With the thoughts that haunt me

 

Listen!

Can you hear me?

I am holding your hand

I am chasing away

The doubts you have,

The worries you bear

 

Look!

Can you see me?

I am waiting my turn

To speak

I am pasting on my smile

To comfort you

 

Look!

Can you see me?

I am bearing your struggles

As well as mine

And the weight is crushing me
