What You Don't See

How easily it goes from marks on a page to marks on skin,
How easily people miss the emotional turmoil trapped within,
From smiling with laughter to holding back tears,
From sad for merely minutes to depressed for years,
Why can't people see that something's wrong,
Why am I only ever told that I need to just stay strong,
My brain constantly tells me that I'm all alone,
My free time is now spent sitting at home,
Friends have started to back away without thought,
Friends that I've ignored even when I should not,
The world doesn't see what's happening to me,
The world doesn't see that mental health should be more important than a therapy fee.
