Anyone

I look around myself,
When I'm at lunch break,
And see a bunch of smiles,
Wondering how many are fake.

I wish I could help,
The ones that are sad.
But I can't tell who,
Cuz none seem too bad.

They hide it so well,
What they truly feel,
You can't even tell,
If there smiles are real.

I wish it were easy,
To express emotion,
Cuz when I try,
My body freezes mid motion.

But I want to tell,
About the pain,
I just can't,
It's hard to explain.

So what am I supposed to do?
Keep it bottled up?
Is that the plan?
I'm just not sure I can.

But who would I tell,
No one seems to care,
I don't even get,
A pitying stare.

I'm not asking for much,
Just one friend,
Just someone who would notice,
If I dropped dead.
