Look harder

The tears are streaming down my heart
As I’m trying to tell you of my pain
But I can see from your grinning face
My efforts are in vain
You fell in love with a happy girl
And you can’t see past the smile
You can’t feel sorrow build inside
Unhappy is not your style
So today I feel so lonely
I’m gripped with terrible pain
And yet you are oblivious
You can’t even tell I’m not the same
You’re blinded by your vision
Of a gleeful poster child
Promoting fun and laughter
Though inside I feel so wild
I don’t know why it happens
Or why I can’t escape
But I need a loving hand
To pull me from this place
Please reach out and save me
Please look past the smile
I’m begging you, look harder
Please, just for a while?
