He Can't Smile.

Curl in a ball

And let it all go

Forgive me please

For the anger I show

 

Hear him cry

And feel his pain

Shut it up

But hear it again

 

See the tears

Stream down his face

Save him please

From his disgrace

 

Crunch your fists

And beat your head

Yell real loud

Or scream instead

 

The wrongness of it all

And how unfair

Because he's alone

No one is there

 

Hear his confusion

And reach out to him

But he's beyond it

He can't win

 

Walk away slowly

Frowning all the while

Because you know

He can't smile
