I Need a Friend

I need a friend right now I need guidance I need someone to show me how How to just be. I thought I was happy I thought I liked me I guess I am not the person I thought I could be. I need a friend right now someone to share my thoughts someone to be my sounding board someone who understands me someone who realizes I should not be ignored. I know the truth that lies beneath the beauty and the smiles I know the truth But you see, it is much easier to live a life of denial You smile and grin, laugh and pretend. Oh, but still remains the dark behind the light I know the truth. One day the closet door will open One day the make up will fade and the world will know what I have known all along You can't hide your pain you can't store your fears you can't bury your sorrows you can't change what's done you can't pretend your okay anymore you can't be that person everyone wants you to be The mask has been ripped from your face and the world now knows what I have known all along you don't know how to live this life alone. you are broken and scared and fear that there is no way for repair The damage has been done your life incomplete you have been stripped of all your strength and beat you are left broken and scared and no one is there. You are alone and I have known this all along I know the truth I know I can't be alone I need a friend right now.
