You sit there as everyone walks by
No one notices you

I see the depression in your eyes

I see the anxiety that keeps you shut down

I see the battle scares

I see the pain and heartache in your so called blank stares

You’re beautiful,  quiet

And they think you have it all together

But all these inward battles you face daily

They never see it because if you did let them see

They’d think you aren’t strong enough

They’d say things like

Why don’t you just get over it?

Why can’t you just be happy?

You’re weak

But I say you were not meant to battle this alone

There’s still hope

Hope in the one who created you for a purpose

Hope in the one who knows and understands your pain best

It might seem like a glimmer

But it’s still hope.
