Let me describe something
To you
It may be something
You've never felt
Or maybe you have
I wouldn't know
Because you are you
And I am me
And everything is just so easy
To hide
To push away
To ignore
Because it's just so easy
To ignore a struggling person
When they are hiding so "effortlessly"
It is so easy to push aside the fact
They are hurting
Because it's not physical pain
It's so easy to call it fake
To shout attention whore
When really they just want help
But no one listens
No one ever does
No one is willing to look past
Past the fake smile
Past the folded hands
Past the darting eyes
To see what's really wrong
So we hide
So we blend in
So we start to fight
The battles no one can see
Or we don't
Because in this world
Win or die trying
Is so much more literal than ever
Because my demons,
Are not ugly
Their words are.
The coaxing unbearable
So I listen
I listen to make them go away
