Understanding

No-one notices your sadness No-one cares about your tears They don't understand your feelings They will never understand your tears Only you know how I feel And the things I've had to endure People say they understand But how can you be sure? We all have our own cross to bear And a burden is the last thing we want to be We try to hide our true feelings We keep them inside so no-one can see All we ask for is a friendly ear And a bit of understanding But some people we've helped in the past Think we're just being demanding You've always been there for them But they're never there for you When you ask them for their help They have better things to do Be careful who you trust Because not everyone is your friend If you don't choose acquaintances wisely You'll learn by your mistakes in the end Find someone who notices your sadness And wipes away your tears They'll understand your feelings And will be able to allay your tears We all need that special someone But they can take a lifetime to find Someone who is your destiny In perfect harmony with heart, body and mind ©Jenny Linsel All Rights Reserved
