Can anybody see me,
Can anybody hear?

Or am I crying
Silent tears again?

Voices whisper silently,
ignoring my pleas to stay.

Does anybody know me,
does anybody care?

Or am I wandering a path
No one’s around to see?

Pattering footsteps walk away,
leaving me to taste the dust.

Or am I truly alone,
In this fight with myself?

Smiles all around,
No one seeing behind the mask.

Can somebody carry me,
Can somebody care?

Faces all turn away,
Silently wishing me to gray.

Does anybody see my pain,
Does anybody hear my heart breaking?

Or am I alone once again,
The shadows overtaking me?

Leaves all around,
Tears raining down.

Everybody wishing
Wishing they had seen…

An angel standing guard,
Death’s wings closing ‘round.

Now I am home,
And there’s no pain left to hide.
