I carry the burden.
I want to speak,
but the words stay trapped.
Life hits from every side.
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares.
You sit and think
maybe it will be okay,
but the room is silent.
No hand reaches out.
No voice calls your name.
No one saves you
from the thing you fear most.
Life is unfair.
Who is there
to save you?
So, you pull yourself together,
stand up again,
alone.
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares.
People talk,
smile as they pass,
But they never notice
the crack in your smile.
The burden eats at you
quietly, slowly,
Yet you smile.
You smile so they won’t ask,
“Are you okay?”
“Is everything good?”
So, you say nothing.
You keep the smile
a plaster
pressed onto your face.
Is it real?
or just a way
to forget?
The burden stays.
The smile returns.

Happiness is independent of burdens or pain and few people know this
Many times people care but they don't show it or express it. They think about you but don't reach out. Good points made
