Can you help some one who's ill

When you know it's not physical

It hides in his oblivious mind

Cleverness making it hard to find

I tried to confront it he won't admit

He knows how to hide behind all his wit

Family and friends don't know how to deal

As his frustrating anger is so hard to feel

Enabled because they cannot cope

He intimidates their need for hope

He has no courage within his own heart

Denial keeps him from falling apart

Unable to admit a possible weakness

It's buried within his own sneakiness

When in reality if he could only see

The more courageous he would be

To face his fears and set himself free
