I can plainly see that you're not alright.
you're hiding, and sighing, and only pretending to laugh when you usually would.
your jokes have turned dark, your smiles are steadily becoming more forced.
what's going on?
why won't you tell me?
what is happening to the boy I thought I knew?
please, don't lie to me!
I only want to help you!
don't lie to me.
I know you, or least I used to before you started lying.
you say things that don't make a lot of sense like:
when I ask you if you're okay, you shake your head while saying "yeah I'm fine"
when I tried to give you a hug, you shied away and yelled "don't hurt me!"
...but with a smile on your face.
why aren't you who you used to be?
what has happened to my brother?
who is hurting you?
please don't lie to me.
-I only want to help you-
