We are Troubled


I've seen you talk, I've seem you smile.

I've seen you fade every once and a while. 

Your face shines, beems and glows

But your eyes cry as you take each blow.

There's a silence in each laugh

and a hollow "hello" that you craft.

You can't connect

you feel as if your wrecked.

But you smile and trun a phrase

for everyone, any given day.

The lies you speak you try to believe

I know who you are because you are we. 

We act strong, happy, and powerful

We are timid, shy, and hurtful

We are we, you are you, I am I,

Troubled are we, Troubled am I.
