If I were nervous, would you reassure me? If I were scared, would you comfort me? If I were angry, would you calm me? If I were lonely, would you sit with me? If I told you my fears, would you understand me? If I were struggling with my demons, would you fight them with me? If I were standing on the edge, would you hold me? If I were screaming out for help, would you hear me? If I hid behind a smile, would you care for me? If I told you I needed help, would you be there for me? If I was no longer here, would you miss me? When I was nervous, nobody reassured me, When I was scared, nobody comforted me, When I was angry, nobody calmed me, When I was lonely, nobody sat with me, When I spoke of my fears, nobody understood me, When I struggled with my demons, nobody fought for me, When I stood out on the edge, nobody held me, When I screamed out for help, nobody heard me, When I hid behind a smile, nobody cared for me, When I said I needed help, nobody was there for me, When I was no longer around, nobody missed me. As I sit and ponder life, All it's troubles, all it's strife, On social media I see the posts, If in need, we're willing hosts, But is it true?  Let's wait and see, If I need you, are you there for me?
