Looks Are Deceiving

why does the world look 
at me like I have it all together
do they see my pain
can they see inside my heart
do they see the tears I cry
only if you knew why i cried
and why I hurt
have you taken the time 
out to ask me
If I need a friend
If i need a prayer
If I need a hug
If I need love
If i need you
The answer is no............ 
so don't judge me by my appearance
I'm human 
and I need all the above....................
