Tell me how to make you happy,
all the things I try backfire sadly.
I can't seem to find the right word,
to be the ray of light in your dark world.

Thousands of texts not sent
and so many words unsaid.
How do we say the right things,
help our friends with what life brings.

Everyone has their own demons,
their own way to deal with problems,
but it's tough to look at our fellow humans,
wearing their tired smiles and lying eyes.

We are cursed to be social creatures,
yearning for support and nurture,
if only we could find the right words,
to make the most of this beautiful curse.
