The Lonely Man

Why does he look so sad
can he not see the sun
are the clouds to thick
what happened to him
he use to be so much fun
Why does he look so angry
is it no one cares
can they not understand
what he is feeling inside
or is it to much for them to bare
Why is he crying so silently
can he not let anyone in
is he ashamed of what he is feeling
not anyone could have that thick of skin
Maybe one day someone will help him
Maybe one day they will see
That he just needs someone to lean on
Just like you or me
