No one notices the pain I hide
behind this smile
Some give a glance
Some just ignore
I shuffle down the long hall
Why am I here? I'd ask
Though no one would listen
If one person said hey
Would it really matter?
Would it make any difference?
If one person said hey
Would it make this smile more real
and less a fake?
If one person said hey?

I wrote this about the way I felt before I met my best friend.
I hope someone can relate. That's why I write.
