Untitled

They sit next to you on the train

The bus

The desk next to yours

you pass them everyday

They laugh with their friends

smile at jokes

who they are is hard to see

from the captain of chess

to the queen bee

From the girl who hides behind her *******

To the boy with alcohol on his breathe

No one looks

past the red eyes or *** stained sheets

No one sees whats hidden

In that perfect outfit

what lies behind that smile

hidden darkness buried in them all

from the school *****

to the stoner god

They all hide that single flaw

From the class president

To the ballet star

We see them all

The musical prodigy wasting away

To the redundant poet trying to make it through the day

No one can see the lonely
