Life is not all sunshine and roses
but also people in poses
who act like they are fine
but are really toeing the line
of being fine and able to function
to being a train wreck at the junction
The outside looks happy and normal
the inside is a mess and less formal
But people see what they want to see
and are as blind to pain as they want to be
So, open your eyes and really look
for places to help and let yourself be shook
by someone else's pain
instead of seeing the remain
when through the cracks some slip
and become a statistical blip
