Behind that smile
Behind that laughter
Is a person who is struggling
Giving their all to stay strong
On the verge of a breakdown
A small cry for help is heard.
I reach my hand out
I smile and welcome them
With open arms ready.
They ignore me
But I'm right there
They shut me out
But I'm ready to listen
They push me away
But I'm wanting to help.
You see,
It hurts when people are cold
It hurts when friends are cruel
But it hurts more
When I'm being ignored.
