My First NFT Poem

'What you don’t see'

You think I’m always happy, you see me smile It’s just the same old me But today I cried for the hundredth time And that’s what you don’t see.

I’m the class clown The life of a party You will always get a joke outta me But the truth is I feel like I’m the joke And that’s what you don’t see.

Most of the time I can socialise like anyone else And I can come across as care free
But last night I danced with a thousand worries And that’s what you don’t see.

I try to open up I get told ‘positivity is the key’ But I’m locked inside my mind, a detainee And that’s what you don’t see.

I put on a fake smile, fake laughter A fake me But what’s inside is an aching loneliness And guess what...That’s what you don’t see So try to look harder next time When you sit and talk to me Be a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen Be a Mate Be a Brother Be a Sister Be a Father Be a Mother Be anyone you want But most importantly, just be there for me.
