'engulf'
Out there alone
Even though you are in a crowd
Your voice drowned out
By the screams of others
Do you fight to be heard?
Or do you voice your protest in a different way
Not everyone will know you are close to giving up
When you smile your usual smile
And you remain the positive pretense they are accustomed to
Only the one who knows your core
Will know -
Will cast you a lifeline
Will hold you close in reassurance
