Give Me a Smile

Amidst a crowded hall, I’m alienated. Into my own corner, I sit alone. Removed from all the chatter, The love, and affection, once shown I can be almost to tears But they’ll pretend not to see. I’m tired of making assertions That deep down, they care for me. I know it’s my own doing That I’ve been left in the dark, But the road back to life Is a journey on which I can’t embark I’ve lost much of everything. It’ll be this way for awhile. I only ask to do me one favor Please, can you give me a smile?
