Behind that smile is a quivering mouth Behind those eyes are tears being held back Behind that kind joyful face is a sad depressed one Behind the kind words are cries for help Help from the darkness surrounding them To not be ****** in like many others To give them strength not to give up To show them that theres more to it than sadness To show that these horrible moments will pass and will soon be forgotten Forgotten because they will be focusing on the joy in their lives Not on the sorrowful There is more to a person than what meets the eye They seem to have everything together They seem to have happy lives They seem to never cry Or to never think about the bad things going on But behind it all They lose everything They have troubles at home They cry them selfs to sleep every night They always think about the bad things going on Never letting them go Never focusing on the good Never enjoying the little things Never smiling out of the public eye Never getting close to anyone Never letting anyone help them Because they are afraid of getting hurt again They are afraid of rejection, help, or even having fun. Because whenever they do something comes up and they are back to being sad and depressed. They are just waiting to be saved Not even knowing that they are They are loved without knowing it They are thought of all the time They matter the most to those they love They are noticed They are important without knowing They are never forgotten. Never.

Appearances deceive you.
