Isolation

You yell at me for being in my room all day
So I come downstairs
Get yelled at again
I can't get anything right
They look at me and think "what a sight" and roll their eyes
He tells me "why won't you smile?"
I want to tell him it's because I don't have a reason
I want to tell him it's cause my heart is beaten
Instead I shrug
I want to tell you it's cause you guys crush my self esteem like a bug
But you'll say "no we don't"
You'll make me forget why I try
And that
My friend
Is why I don't smile
