A Tear Upon My Cheek
A tear may press upon my cheek
But no one sees it fall,
A face and name of nothingness
Hide the glory of it all,
But I just a girl stand beside a wall
Just to be protected by the shade?
And yet instead I remain the same
Hidden by others I slowly fade,
But what confidence is given to me
To hear my own subtle cry,
To leave me later wondering
Was it you or was it I?
Now I stand, right here today
With a heart complicated like a web,
That no one ever understands
Why its mind it there was led,
To then try and bring mere happiness
Another obstacle is formed,
To try and be someone like me
A life would be transformed,
But to hear from someone
That your whole life seems devoted to,
Could make you feel like they just today
Were sometime thinking about you,
So I sit and wait for those
To watch and see my smile,
But no one ever looks towards me
They think that I’m not worthwhile,
And if I step outside this shadow
Wrapped around myself,
Will I be called out upon?
Or tossed aside upon a shelf?
If I sit and cry to think
That I am not doing well,
Will anyone ever stop and ask
‘I wonder if she needs help?’
Yet if no one really ever cares
If you are feeling depressed,
And there’s other things inside there life
More important to be stressed,
So a face and name of nothingness
Hide the glory of it all,
And still tomorrow a tear will press upon my cheek
But no one will ever see it fall.
