You are my friend
But you don't share your feelings
I care about you so much
But you don't share your thoughts
I know everything about you
But do I really know anything
If you won't share
How your body is handling everything
I saw the scars
The ones you blamed on falling
Each strip of your past pain
You try to coat in a thick layer of honey
But I'm not that dumb
I see them
I heard that teacher talk to you
I know it's not my business
But I know your struggling
With life with school with yourself
And you want to struggle alone
You want to hurt by yourself in a corner
But I want to help you
I want to see you
But you won't let me
You are so hesitant to open up
Do emotions scare you
Is that why
Is that why you hide
Is that why you turn off
Are you scared
Is it selfish
Or is it smart
Do people only like you because
Do I only like you because
We don't know
The real you
