No one sees his tear-stained cheeks
No one sees his damp pillows
No one sees the frown under the smile and no one knows he's been unhappy for a while
No one knows the pain he's gone through and no one understands his past
no one sees how he's been struggling and no one sees his battles at night and how long they last
Why does no one see him?
No one sees his eyes
No one sees the lies
No one sees his smile
No one sees his light
He only sees the darkness
He will never be what others expect
He will always be full of loveliness
Why does no one see him?

Because he does not show himself.
Many reasons why this should be mostly attributed to the way he was parented.
As one person who 'did not show himself' I have slowly gained such strength here on MPS by sharing so much of myself in poetry over the years. There are many kind and understanding friendly poets here on MPS.
Great readable, relateable poetry.
I understand these feelings you're expressing, so bravely
but, the most important thing to remember
is that, it's not: his Fault!
instead, it's the the fault of those who were intrusted
with the opportunity, to teach him
how to Shine, and in so doing
allow everyone to see him, clearly..
but thankfully, its Never: too late
just like when theirs a power cut
and everything goes dark
we need only find
once candle - of hope
for us to find, the light in our lives
and so, he only needs to stay patient
until that first person, discovers him
then, the brightness
from his relieved heart, will insure
Everyone, will see him with ease...
(thanks for sharing, such a poignantly relatable write)
