Stare at the news, the shock sets in.
Staring at the tv as they say who did.
The person who cut themselves everyday.
The one you used to wave at on the way.
Going to work, they’d smile and laugh.
But underneath, they were carrying the weight of the world on their back.
They couldn’t breathe with all the stress.
They always felt they had nothing left.
But no one noticed the forced smiles.
They couldn’t hear the thoughts that were so vile.
Everyone only saw what they put out.
“How could someone so happy be so down?”
Now that you see their face on the news.
You act like you’ve got something to prove.
Fake Condolences to the family.
“I’m so sorry for the casualty.”
Pretend as if they were your friend.
Pretend as if you loved them.
Go to the funeral and pretend to cry.
Pretend as if you didn’t understand why.
You saw the signs before everyone else.
You had the time to try and help.
But you said you were dealing with things of your own.
You saw the signs, you should’ve known.
Fake Condolences to their friends.
“I would’ve done something if I’d known then.”
But that’s a lie because you saw.
You just didn’t want to go through the trouble it brought.
So don’t you dare even try to lie.
Because they kept saying they weren’t alright.
Turn to their partner and give your condolences.
Pretend as if you hadn’t even noticed it.
Fake everything you could possibly show.
Tell them to make room down below.
Guilt fills inside you for not backing them up.
All your feelings are now ganging up.
Now you’re on the brink but no one notices.
Now they’re giving your family their fake Condolences.
