You

32 4 4
                                    

You walk by me,
Day rise and day end.
Yet you never see behind my fake smile.
You never see me break,
You only think I bend and wait.
You ask me if I'm ok,
But you don't pester,
You don't pry.
You don't even try.
You could never see my tears behind my mask.
You never even cared when you asked.
I can't help but feel I'm out of place.
Like I'm a disgrace.
Am I wrong?
Am I right?
I don't know anymore.
After we talk I feel bruised to the core.
But I keep fighting.
I keep writing.
Do you even care?
All I get from you is a glare.
