The broken ones...
Do you know them?
Everybody knows at least one
Do you see them?
The tear stains left behind on their cheek from the night before
Do you feel it?
The invisible and silent weight they carry
with zero mass.
The ones who help bring the attention to the centre
The ones who applaud everybody but themselves
The ones who hide to allow the others to seek
Do you know them?
The one who enjoys everybody's smile but their own
The one who walks with their head down, their eyes following their thoughts
their thoughts leading them down
Do you see them?
The ones who laugh at their upsets because laughing keeps them sane
The ones who do make-up trials daily testing which mask makes them look most ok
The ones who carry so much weight yet barely eat
Do you feel it?
The ones who wave people goodbye as their beloved goes to chase their dreams
Do you know them?
The ones who smile until they walk through there bedroom door
Do you see them?
The ones who wait and hope for the day that they feel broken no more
Do you feel it?
We are the broken ones.
