Lies

I noticed you in the corner. Silently breathing. Breathing heavily. Were you hurt? Everyone passes by without even a second glance. They don't see you. They don't see your pain. I know how hard you cry at night. I look at your sodden, soaking pillowcase. I know your secrets, mister. Yet you get up in the morning with a bright smile on your face. Pretending everything is perfectly okay. But why do you hide all this? Why do you ignore that plea for help in your scarred heart? You have nothing to be ashamed of. There is help waiting for you. But I know you don't think you're worth it. You think everything is your fault. You blame yourself for the mistakes of other's. But to the public eye, you are Mr. Perfect. Dazzling smile, confidence radiating from your skin. They can't see what's within. They don't see the cracked dirt underneath, already starting to cave in. It's no use telling you not to treat yourself this way. I know you won't listen to me. You're a madman; a lunatic. But this is the way you want to live. You smell of death, but your struggle for survival keeps you alive. You're a phenomenon; a wonder of nature. The way you're so kind and simple bewilders me. How could anyone accuse you and take advantage of you in such ways? You have a pure heart, young man. You shall be rewarded in time for being just the way you are. But there IS one thing I must tell you. If you do not get rid of your grief, your life shall end. I want you to do something you've never done before. I want you to stand up for yourself and be proud of it. I cannot stand to even look at you anymore. I know the pain you inflict upon yourself. But there's only so much I can do for you. You see, I am trapped in a disguise. I am simply a human being, but my heart soars far beyond that capacity. I'm your secret guardian angel, trying to break these bonds and get through to you. So let our simple hello's turn into deep, meaningful conversations filled with joy and hope for you. Because nothing pleases me more than a completed soul. A life so full of love and joy. Your happiness is what I crave. Just don't forget about me, as I'm sure you soon will.
