Screams.

Everybody has their own battles.

Everyone fights their own fights.

Everybody's eyes scream for help.

 

Who sees those screams in everyone’s eyes?

Who hears the “help me” behind “I’m Fine”?

When the world crumbles does anyone care?

 

Don’t ask for help or you’re selfish.

Don’t cry or you’re a drama queen.

Don’t admit defeat or you’re weak.

 

What happens when it’s too late?

What happens when that “I’m Fine” becomes silence?

What happens when that person is gone?

 

Sometimes all it takes is a smile.

Sometimes all they want is a hug.

Sometimes all they need is a “You’re not fine.”.

 

Before they’re selfish for asking.

Before they’re a drama queen for crying.

Before they’re weak for admitting defeat.

 

Remember,

 

Everybody has their own battles.

Everyone fights their own fights.

Everybody's eyes scream for help.
