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
